In addition, he gave the American leader his portrait, which greatly moved Trump.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin gave Donald Trump a portrait of him and said he prayed for the American president when he was shot, Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff said in an interview with propaganda journalist Tucker Carlson.

During the conversation, Witkoff noted that he does not consider Putin a bad person. In his opinion, the war was allegedly led by several components, not just one person. 

Witkoff recalled that his second visit to Russia “became personal” because during the meeting, Putin gave him a portrait of Trump by a leading Russian artist and asked him to give it to the American president. Moreover, Putin said that he prayed for Trump when he was shot.

“I prayed for the president, not because he was the president of the United States or could become one, but because he was his friend. He prayed for a friend. Can you imagine sitting and listening to conversations like that? I went home, gave this message to our president and presented the painting. Obviously, it touched him,” said Witkoff.

Trump’s special envoy said that this “kind gesture” restored the “connection” between Trump and Putin.
