Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Associated Press (a publication in which US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is credited with saying that Russian leader Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump are “good friends” on March 18.
"The AP is retracting a story in which U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are 'very good friends.' Gabbard was talking about Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi," the American agency explained in a statement.
| How mortifying for them. Ay Pee needs to rehire a bunch of editors, since their reporters clearly are not able to successfully report simple facts without them. |
Gabbard gave an interview to India’s NDTV on March 17, in which she suggested that the upcoming conversation between Putin and Trump would be productive. AP ran the story under the headline “Gabbard Says Trump, Putin Are Very Good Friends,” and the article itself contained a quote that confirmed the headline: “We have two leaders of two great countries who are very good friends and very focused on ways to strengthen their shared goals and interests.”
"Sure, we made it all up, but it did make a good headline, right?"
The material is currently unavailable on the agency's website. Gabbard's deputy chief of staff, Alexa Henning, criticized the AP publication on the social network X and emphasized that Gabbard was talking about Modi and Trump.
In turn, the head of the US Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE), entrepreneur Elon Musk, noted that AP should now be decoded as “Associated Propaganda”.
Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called the conversation between Russian President Putin and his US counterpart Trump, scheduled for March 18, very productive.
On Tuesday, March 18, Putin and Trump discussed the situation in Ukraine in detail during a telephone conversation. The Russian leader reaffirmed his fundamental commitment to a peaceful settlement, but stressed that it was imperative to take into account the need to eliminate the root causes of the conflict and Russia's legitimate security interests.
Putin also supported Trump's proposal to mutually cease attacks on energy infrastructure facilities for 30 days. The Russian leader gave the military the corresponding order.
The Russian President also stressed that the key condition for preventing the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the possibility of resolving it through diplomatic means, is the complete cessation of foreign military aid to the Kiev regime, as well as the cessation of forced mobilization in Ukraine.
Following talks with Russian leader Putin, US President Trump said that the process of settling the Ukrainian conflict has been launched at full speed.
