Trump-Putin Alaska summit: the remarks the media did not hear

The UK's Sun has a terrific scoop on  the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. 

The Sun got a forensic lip reader to transcribe what Trump and Putin were telling each other at a couple of places. There was no microphone to catch these remarks for the benefit of the media. Here is the Sun's account:

Putin looked relaxed as he walked down a red carpet towards Trump - giving the US leader a thumbs-up before greeting him with a warm handshake.

Trump begins clapping as Putin approaches and the American says: “Finally,” according to Hickling (the lip reader).

Hickling then said that as the pair shook hands Trump added: “You made it, fantastic to see you and appreciated."

The pair then appear to begin talking about Ukraine and the bringing the fighting to an end with a ceasefire.

Putin responds in English, saying: “Thank you — and you."

He also makes a pledge to Trump: "I am here to help you.”

Trump replies: “I’ll help you.”

Pointing towards Trump, Putin says: “All they need is to ask.”

Trump answers simply: “Okay.”

Putin continues: “I will bring it to a rest.”

Trump responds: “I hope it does.”

Turning towards the vehicle, Hickling said Trump smiles and says: “Come on, let’s get straight into the vehicle. We need to move forward, both giving it attention. I know this is serious, it’s quite long. What a journey it is.”

Trump salutes and says: “Thank you.”

On the podium, Trump says: “Thank you. Let’s shake hands — it gives a good impression.”

Putin nods in agreement, shakes his hand, and says: “Thank you.”

The pair then shared a moment alone in Trump’s presidential limo - known as The Beast - which drove them to the summit venue.

 They were then next seen when they posed for photos in front of the press to record the historic moment.

But the photocall descended into chaos when the journalists started shouting at Trump and the tyrant - who doesn't face that sort of opposition in Russia.

Hickling said that Trump noticed Putin wasn't happy with a question or remark made.

The American leans in to his aide, according to the lipreader, and whispers: “I'm uncomfortable, we need to move them quickly.”

Putin then makes a face after being on the receiving end of the aggressive questioning.

Hickling said the Russian tells a reporter: “You is ignorant.” 

Then, as he cups his hands to his mouth to shout above the chaos, he says again: “You are ignorant.”

The chemistry, as anybody can see, was pretty good. No wonder Trump gave the meeting at 10 on 10.
