Putin's car was right there, but...: What should you know about Trump's The Beast - and what you'll NEVER know

When the Russian President Vladimir Putin landed in Alaska for the summit with Donald Trump on August 15, his car was right there waiting for him to take him to the venue. But, after shaking hands with his counterpart, the US President took Putin with him in his special car - The Beast. During the whole ride, only Putin and Trump were in the car, along with the driver.

Sitting in Trump's The Beast is a rare privilege that only his allies have gotten in the past. Now, the reason it is a suspicious thing is that no one would ever know, most likely, what the two leaders discussed in the car.

As per a report by AutoWeek, The Beast was traditionally designed from the ground up by the US Secret Service, and there are usually multiple copies put in rotation, housed in the basement of Secret Service headquarters, and kept under 24-hour surveillance. The car is bulletproof and bombproof, durable enough for years of rigorous duty, and prepared for any worst-case scenarios.

The Beast is loaded with Bond-style gadgets believed to include smoke screens and door handles rigged to send a 120-volt electric shock to ward off attackers.

Putin locks deal with Trump

After almost a 3-hour-long meeting in Alaska with US President Donald Trump, Russian supremo Vladimir Putin said he has reached an agreement with the American president. Taking a dig at the Ukrainian president, Putin said he hoped that leaders in Kyiv “won’t throw a wrench” into the process of bringing the war to an end. Although he offered no details on the agreement, he claimed Russia-US has agreed upon.

The Russian president said that the security of Ukraine must be ensured, and his country is ready to do so. But, Putin said, the root cause of the war "must be taken into account" as well. "Our country is sincerely interested in putting an end to the conflict in Ukraine," Putin said.
