According to a new book by journalist Bob Woodward, former President Donald Trump secretly sent COVID-19 tests and test machines to Russian President Vladimir Putin for his personal use during the height of the pandemic in 2020, when the United States was facing a severe shortage of these tests. The book also reveals that Trump and Putin have had as many as seven phone calls since Trump left the White House in January 2021. These revelations have raised concerns about the nature of Trump's relationship with Putin and the potential implications for U.S. foreign policy.
