SNUBBED: Ksenia Sobchak Attends National Prayer Breakfast, Fails to Talk With Donald Trump
In Washington, Ksenia Sobchak also attended the National Prayer Breakfast with Donald Trump and spoke with influential politicians.
Our special correspondent Stas Natanzon will talk about the results.
- What do you want to discuss with Trump?
Yulia Tymoshenko: "No comment".
Yulia Tymoshenko tries to hide so fast that she appears to be lost for a moment. Security shows her on the way to Trump. A little later, we could see her braid in the first rows. The leader of the Ukrainian Fatherland party is a traditional guest at the Prayer Breakfast. She knows that she won't be able to talk to Trump here anyway. But she can show herself.
It was the first time that Ksenia Sobchak came to the breakfast with the president. She clearly looks disappointed.
Ksenia Sobchak: "The speech didn't seem to have a point. The presentation lacked a coherent main idea."
After such a breakfast, the only thing you want to do is to go to a restaurant.
Ksenia Sobchak: For the first time in a while, Mr. Krasovsky paid me a compliment and said that he liked my perfume. I really like it too.
- Ksenia's advertising!
- She is!
- I'm not, I really like it!
Almost 50 Russians came to the event with the president this year. There are no officials or politicians among them. They refused to come after the Kremlin list was published. They're mainly businessmen, including big ones. And, traditionally, the Russian ambassador.
- Will you talk to Trump?
Anatoly Antonov, Russian Ambassador to the US: "Probably not, Stas. He's too high up, too far away. We'd have a lot to talk about though. Donald Trump's cortege comes to his second Prayers Breakfast".
As a result, it turned out that almost no one could talk to Trump. The American president left right after his speech.
