Putin Friend to the USA – level 1

02-01-2017 15:00

This news is about Russia and America. America says that Russia does a cyberattack. It says that it is a cyberattack on Hillary Clinton’s election campaign.

US President Obama reacts to this. He tells 35 Russian diplomats to leave the USA. Sergey Lavrov is the Russian foreign minister. He wants to tell American diplomats to leave. Russian President Putin, however, does not want this.

American diplomats stay in Moscow. Putin wants to work with the USA.

Difficult words: cyberattack (an attack on a computer or computers), election campaign (when people show others why they should vote for them), foreign minister (the person who talks with other countries for his or her country).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
