| Description | President George W. Bush said on Sunday he gained a glimpse into German Chancellor Angela Merkel's soul when they met in Washington last week.
Bush told ARD television that Merkel had described her youth in communist East Germany at a White House dinner on Wednesday.
His comments echo ones he made about Russian President
Vladimir Putin five years ago. "I was able to get a sense of his soul, a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country," Bush said then.
His relations with Putin have since soured as Washington has grown increasingly critical of the Russian leader's record on democracy, human rights and press freedom. |
