In the USA, the reaction of the former president of the country, Donald Trump, to the missed call from the head of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, was shared.
About it сообщает The Independent.
The material said that the American leader was told about the missed call during a meeting with the former Prime Minister of Great Britain Theresa May, who came to Washington after his inauguration in January 2017. Fiona McLeod Hill, who held the position of chief of staff at the time, said that Trump lost his temper that day.
Hill recalled that the ex-head of the White House first blushed deeply, and then lashed out at those present with an angry tirade.
"He said: 'You're saying that Vladimir Putin called the White House, and you're telling me about it only now, during this dinner?'" Fiona McLeod Hill quotes Trump as saying. She noted that at that moment she had the impression that a field had rolled over the table.
Hill also said that a couple of minutes before Trump found out about the missed call, May asked him if he had spoken with the Russian leader, whom he often mentioned during the election campaign. The then ambassador of the United Kingdom to the United States, Kim Derrock, who was present at the conversation, explained that May planned to discuss Putin with the president of the United States and share her opinion about him.
Trump, according to the US ambassador, said then that he could not believe that the president of Russia was not connected with him. "Putin is the only person in the world who is capable of destroying the United States, and I didn't answer his call," the ex-president was upset.
