From now on, the Russian and the American will be alone, with only the translators as witnesses of a meeting without agenda.
A void that most verrinosos could associate with Trump's strategic ability and the most pragmatic to an attempt to revive relations between Moscow and Washington. Something that the previous president, Barack Obama, tried unsuccessfully
Obama, common target
The 44th president of the United States may be a first point of approach. It is common knowledge that the businessman has a long hatred for his predecessor. On the political front, he did everything in his power to ensure that the stone of the last president was not exploited.
And from the moment he contributed to the rumors – unfounded – that Obama was not an American citizen, Trump did not miss the apocryphal,
Thursday, at the Joint press conference with the British Theresa May, again blamed Obama for the Russian annexation of Crimea. He had already done so at the G7, as well as at the NATO summit, when he asked if he recognized this territory as being Russian. "What will happen, I do not know, I'm not satisfied."
Vladimir Putin never concealed his contempt for Barack Obama and should take advantage of this ground of understanding to create empathy with Trump. Former Moscow Ambassador Michael McFaul told the Washington Post that at the first meeting between Putin and Obama, the former complained at length about George W. Bush's team
Putin's Admirer
When he was still far away To apply for a political post, Trump will ask in 2013 on Twitter when he met Putin in Moscow: "Will he be my new best friend?"
For the US secret services, yes, the point of having given orders for a campaign on social networks in their favor, to the detriment of Hillary Clinton, as we read in a report become public.
Vladimir Putin was born into a working-class family in Leningrad, today St. Petersburg, 1952, and made a career in the ranks of the KGB.
Donald Trump was born into a wealthy family in New York, and when he started his business, he received a $ 1 million loan from his father. By expanding his real estate empire, Putin sees the Soviet empire disintegrating.
One and the other pledge to "give back greatness" to their respective countries. Putin is the founder of the Eurasian Economic Union, created in 2015 and which aims to reconnect all countries that were part of the USSR, with the exception of the Baltic countries, which are integrated into the USSR. 39, European Union.
another arc is drawn with the Organization for Cooperation of Shanghai, which joins Russia in China, India, Pakistan and the former Soviet republics.
Donald Trump campaigned with the phrase "Making America Big Again", alluding to a decline in US industry. To go forward, he has unleashed a trade war with China – which he accuses of intellectual theft and unfair competition – but also from allies, from the EU to Canada and in Mexico.
His disregard for institutions such as the EU, NATO or the World Trade Organization is good news for the Kremlin.
The billionaire used television to expose himself and his family, taking the maximum "talk well or talk". ill but tell me "to the letter." He gained tremendous popularity as a host of a reality show .
Trump is a compulsive Twitter user in which he shows a whole range of emotions.When at press conferences or any situation where you have a microphone in front of you, you never know what you are going to say or say.The most recent example, statements on Theresa May to The Sun.
On the contrary, Putin just knows that the KGB went to the hometown chamber and then to the prime minister.Parents, there is almost a secret state of affairs: knows that he is divorced and has two daughters.The Russian does not have smartphone and uses the word only at scheduled times, does not s'. embarrassing not in the unexpected.
Both have a similar vision in social communication, trying to exploit it in their favor. One for the persecution of press freedom and pluralism – 25 journalists have been murdered since 2000, although no one can blame the president – the other by the way he spreads his message, between facts, lies and half truths, accusing the messengers of being false news and embracing Fox News and sources with a far-right program like Breitbart.
Putin and Trump are men of great wealth. If Fortune estimates the wealth of the United States at $ 2.8 billion, no one knows for sure. Receives officially 121 thousand euros annually. Some point to $ 70 billion and up to $ 200 billion, as the director of Hermitage Capital Management told a Senate committee
Friction Points
Interference Between Ukraine, Syria and Russia The US elections are hot spots between them.
Putin and Trump are men who do not usually give way under pressure. But if trump, born trader, does not see any inconvenience in giving anything in exchange for an agreement, Putin has never made concessions in his political career.
"The idea that Trump recently suggested that Putin could make a concession and leaving Ukraine or Syria is laughable.Putin does not make favors.Geopolitics for him is a zero-sum game" , wrote Ambassador McFaul
