Trump's private meeting with Putin has also caused a strong reaction from many Western media outlets, especially those in European countries. Paul Lenzheimer, the editor-in-chief of Bild, sarcastically remarked on social media: "Not even Russian state media could imagine a better scene than US President Trump clapping on the red carpet to welcome Putin."
Bild is the best-selling newspaper in Germany and is known for its nationalist and conservative stance. After the Ukraine-Russia conflict, it became a representative of the hardline pro-Ukraine media, frequently criticizing the German government (such as Scholz) for its slow military aid to Ukraine. Paul Lenzheimer has always advocated a tough stance towards Russia and previously often criticized Trump for his weakness towards Russia.
