Treasury Secretary Compares Trump-Putin Meeting To Showing Off ‘Gun Case’ To ‘Uncontrollable Neighbor’
HuffPost
Cabinet member Scott Bessent said he wanted to "set the record straight" on Donald Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent weighed in Tuesday on President Donald Trump’s controversial summit in Alaska with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week.
While appearing on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Bessent told host Joe Kernen that he wanted to “set the record straight” about how the meeting went.
“Alaska was a show of force by President Trump. He invited President Putin to land that the Russians used to own. He displayed a huge amount of military hardware and then did a flyover,” Bessent said.
The Trump administration official then compared the meeting to “inviting your uncontrollable neighbor to your house and showing him your gun case.”
Calling Trump’s follow-up meeting on Monday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House “very good,” Bessent declared that he has a “strong belief” that Trump will eventually help secure a meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy.
