Lawmaker from Estonia says photo celebrates ‘the greatest war criminal of the 21st century’
Donald Trump has apparently added a framed photo of himself standing with Vladimir Putin to the White House decor, prompting criticism from a senator, members of the media and beyond.
Newly surfaced photos from the Palm Room, which connects the West Wing to the executive residence, show a framed image of the US president and the Russian president at their summit in Alaska last August. Notably, that event marked the first in-person meeting between US and Russian leaders since Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022. The meeting drew complaints from Democrats who accused him of “cozying up” to Putin, and rolling out “the red carpet” for the Russian leader “instead of “standing with Ukraine and our allies”.
The recently added framed photo was first noted by the PBS White House correspondent Elizabeth Landers on Tuesday, who shared two images of the photo hanging in the Palm Room, positioned right above a photo of Trump with one of his grandchildren. A Bloomberg photographer also captured the display on Tuesday.

I don’t want to be that guy, but it’s perfectly normal. Trump lives in the white house, why wouldn’t he frame pictures of himself?
Ok, yeah, but do you have framed pictures of you and your boss in your house?
Of course, why wouldn’t I have pictures with my son at home?
Aghast?
They were cool with things until this?
Trump and his boyfriend
Putin and his bitch
Takes down photos of real presidents. Puts up photos of dictator mates. Happy with what you voted for mercans?

America is like Hungary and Belarus now. Just Russian satellite states.
Good luck getting out of this one, America. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, these problems rarely resolve themselves bloodlessly and peacefully.
He put the picture next to one of him and his grandkid. Does that mean he considers Putin part of his family?
Putin probably is the father of his kids.
Come on guys, it is just a joke to trigger the libs lol! /s
Shocked to discover two guys who like one another would proudly show off a picture together
Yes, they like each other a lot.
