Putin Sends Personal Gift for Trump as U.S.-Russia Talks Continue

A portrait of Trump by a Russian artist was reportedly given to a U.S. envoy, while negotiations on Black Sea security and Ukrainian grain transport progress in Riyadh.

Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a 'personal gift' to U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff for Donald Trump during a meeting in Moscow last week.
The gift is reportedly a portrait of Trump painted by a prominent Russian artist, though the Kremlin has not officially confirmed this detail.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov described the gift as 'personal' and stated that only Putin could provide further information.
Talks between U.S. and Russian representatives are ongoing in Riyadh, focusing on Black Sea shipping security and the transport of Ukrainian grain.
These discussions follow Russia's earlier withdrawal from the Black Sea Initiative, citing concerns over its national interests being violated.
