In a surprising turn of events, Russian President Vladimir Putin has gifted U.S. President Donald Trump a custom portrait of himself. The Kremlin has confirmed that this personal gift was delivered to the U.S. president as relations between the two nations continue to be scrutinized, particularly in light of the situation in Ukraine. Trump has publicly expressed dissatisfaction with a different portrait of him but praised the one gifted by Putin. This gesture comes amidst ongoing discussions about the dynamics of their relationship, described by some observers as complicated.
