Trump and Putin got into the Beast together and just drove off going somewhere. This is only the second time I've ever seen (personally anyway) a US President and a foreign head of state in the same car. Both times were this Trump term (first was when MBS rode with him going back to the airport).
I actually asked Grok how rare that is. Considering a POTUS meets with dozens - if not over 100 heads of state in his term it is pretty rare given the instances Grok was able to confirm. There were rumors of Reagan and Nixon doing it but there is no definitive proof. Here's the list - and this is actually Trump's 4th time...
Key Historical Examples (from Grok)
Here is a chronological list of notable confirmed instances, drawn from reliable sources like White House photos, AP fact-checks, and archival records:
1963: President John F. Kennedy with Indian President Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
They rode together in Kennedy's 1961 Lincoln Continental (an open-top presidential state car at the time) during a motorcade in Washington, D.C., as part of a state visit.
Early 2000s (circa 2001–2006):
President George W. Bush with Mexican President Vicente Fox
Fox rode in the presidential limousine during at least one bilateral meeting, highlighting U.S.-Mexico relations.
2010: President Barack Obama with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
They shared a ride in The Beast during a summit in Washington, D.C., captured in White House photos as a sign of thawing U.S.-Russia ties.
2016: President Barack Obama with Cuban President Raúl Castro
They rode together in The Beast to a baseball game in Havana during Obama's historic visit to Cuba, symbolizing normalized relations.
2017: President Donald Trump with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe
Abe joined Trump in The Beast en route to a golf resort in Florida, emphasizing personal diplomacy.

2023: President Joe Biden with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO)

Did you hear some to the press screaming horrible questions to president Putin. (Will you stop killing civilians) GRRRRRRRRR! I would kick those press people out ASAP.

Putin and Trump look comfortable and pleased with themselves.
I've good a good feeling about it from seeing them look like that.
I do as well...🙏
Yup.
As that LIVE broadcast ended, I deleted the RSBN Live Coverage post. Did not want it taking up sticky space unnecessarily.
Sure. Although you could have asked a moderator to de-sticky it.
Oh, I almost ask you if I did the right thing. Thanks for letting me know I can request a de-sticky.
sometimes we're thin on the ground and slow to react.
Those are some big looking SS agents from Russia and USA.
Thanks Mods.
