‘Fake news’ lied about Putin meeting – Trump –The U.S. president has dismissed reports that Steve Witkoff faced extended delays before meeting with the Russian leader in Moscow | 15 March 2025 | U.S. President Donald Trump has sharply denounced media reports claiming that his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, faced extended delays before meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this week in Moscow, dismissing such claims as “fake.” “The Fake News, as usual, is at it again!” he wrote on Truth Social on Saturday. Trump emphasized that there was “no wait whatsoever” for Witkoff’s meeting with Putin. The statement follows a Sky News report on Friday claiming that Witkoff was “left twiddling his thumbs for at least eight hours before being called into the Kremlin.”
