According to The Hill, during that one-on-one meeting, no interpreters or aides were provide. Not most effective did that raise issues about breaking protocol, it also introduced into query Putin’s English functions since Trump does not speak Russian.
“In unfastened discourse, on the sidelines of summits, he frequently speaks in English,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told the state-run Rossiya 1 television channel (by way of Newsweek). “But all through negotiations and when he is accomplishing an reliable meeting, after all, he communicates via a translator.” Peskov added that Putin “practically understands English utterly and infrequently even corrects the translators.”

He sometimes mentioned a couple of expressions in English, in step with Metro. For his part, Putin is extra modest, saying, in step with Express, “I get by way of in German and I will be able to categorical myself more or less in English.”
