Context piece
- The article criticizes U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff’s conduct during his weekend engagement with Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
- It also highlights Witkoff’s and Jared Kushner’s use of Russian government vehicles and Kremlin interpreters during the talks.
The spectacle of U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff eagerly ingratiating himself with Vladimir Putin in Moscow should have been shocking.
Just as striking, the article argues, was what followed: Witkoff and Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner traveled in Russian government vehicles and used Kremlin interpreters during their talks.
The headline presents the episode as a case of “assisted suicide” in Trump’s America, framing the conduct as a deeply disturbing display of deference toward Moscow.
