Trump’s special envoy calls Vladimir Putin a ‘humanitarian’

Steve Witkoff, the U.S. special envoy for peace missions, called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “humanitarian” Wednesday after Russia released a U.S. citizen from detainment.

“You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian,” Witkoff told Putin at a meeting in St. Petersburg. “You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that.”
