Putin did not say if he will attend personally.
Pres. Trump has already announced that he will attend if he can help out there.
Putin= “did not say”
Pres. Trump= “will attend IF”
Words mean something. none of this means anyone is “chickening out”
Perhaps the ones doing the most squawking and bragging are the ones chickening out.
How about hold your cards close to your vest, attend, and behave like a grown up.
