Trump And Puttin Release Joint Statement

President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin showcased their ability to cooperate by issuing a rare joint statement. The two presidents commemorated a 1945 World War Two link-up of U.S. and Soviet troops. The statement read: “The ‘Spirit of the Elbe’ is an example of how our countries can put aside differences, build trust, and cooperate in pursuit of a greater cause.” According to Reuters, the message comes amid rocky ties between the two countries. The U.S. has accused Russia of interfering in the U.S. elections and of spreading misinformation about the coronavirus.
