IN THE END, VLADIMIR PUTIN agreed to see the envoy from the Trump Administration.
After a week of mutual recriminations over the war in Syria, the Russian President did not snub Rex Tillerson during the U.S. Secretary of State’s first official visit to Moscow. Instead, Putin showed a willingness to grit his teeth and accept the U.S. attack against his ally in Syria—as long as Trump offered him a way to save face in the process.
It was demeaning enough for Putin to welcome Tillerson on April 12 after the accusations the visitor’s country had leveled at his hosts. Poison gas had been used to kill up to 100 people on April 4, including children, in a rebel-held town in western Syria. In an intelligence report declassified a week later, the White House blamed Syrian President Bashar Assad for committing that atrocity and flatly accused Russia of covering it up.
The punitive missile strike ordered by President Trump against a Syrian air force base heralded a sharp tack in the White House’s approach to the Kremlin. Both Tillerson and his boss insisted that Russia must revoke its support for Assad. “Putin must see what a barbarian this guy is, and it’s a very bad symbol for Russia with this guy gassing children,” Trump told the New York Post.
