The head of the American delegation at an economic forum in St. Petersburg publicly delivered a greeting from Donald Trump to Russian President Vladimir Putin, surprising both Moscow and Washington. Rodney Mims Cook Jr., chairman of the US commission at the forum, made the unexpected gesture during the event. The United States had not sent any major high-level officials to the St. Petersburg gathering, making the delivery of Trump's message a notable diplomatic moment that caught both capitals off guard.
