A lip reader has revealed what exactly President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin whispered to each other on the airport tarmac as they met for a high-stakes meeting about ending the war in Ukraine.
The two leaders shook hands for the first time in six years Friday in a charged moment at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska, before they climbed into the same motorcade to begin the historic talks.
In a moment watched around the world, Trump, 79, dutifully waited on the red carpet for his 72-year-old Russian counterpart to descend the stairs of his aircraft in the Last Frontier State.
The US leader seemed somewhat impatient, with a lip reader telling the Daily Mail the very first word of their encounter was Trump saying: 'Finally.'
As they shook hands, Trump said: 'You made it, fantastic to see you and appreciated.'
