Putin’s football gift to Trump gets security check
Saturday, 21 July 2018
The red-and-white football tossed to President Donald Trump by Russia’s Vladimir Putin is undergoing a routine security screening, according to AP.
The US Secret Service says that’s standard for all gifts to the president.
During a joint news conference after their summit this week in Finland, Putin used football metaphors and was handed a ball that he tossed to Trump.
Russia hosted the 2018 World Cup. Trump said he’d give the ball to his 12-year-old son Barron, a football fan.
