California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press account slammed President Donald Trump’s use of U.S. soldiers to roll out and clean a red carpet meant for Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Attached to the post was an image of U.S. soldiers on their knees rolling out the red carpet for Putin’s arrival in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday for a summit with Trump about the war the Russian president started with Ukraine.
“DISGUSTING,” the post added.
The Russian Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, acknowledged on Telegram the significance of rolling out the red carpet for the accused war criminal.
“For three years, they have been reporting that Russia is in isolation, and today they saw the red carpet laid to greet the Russian president in the United States,” she wrote.
