Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff is set to visit Moscow later this week, confirmed U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matt Whitaker. The visit follows a scheduled trip to Israel and Gaza on August 1. Trump’s team hopes the envoy’s visit will help facilitate constructive dialogue between the U.S. and Russia. Witkoff has visited Moscow multiple times and met with President Vladimir Putin. With U.S.-Russia relations currently tense, Trump has even ordered deployment of two nuclear submarines to strategic areas.
