This statement correctly is called “rare” by two of the very few mainstream media articles addressing it.
Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. Thus reads the first paragraph of a joint statement by President Donald J. This event heralded the decisive defeat of the Nazi Regime. The media ignored only the second joint US-Russia statement in four years, to talk about silly hair and small handsĪpril 25, 2020, marks the 75th Anniversary of the historic meeting between American and Soviet troops, who shook hands on the damaged bridge over the Elbe River.
