Early years
No one knows for sure who Vladimir Putin is. Some say he was born in Leningrad in 1952, others that he was born in St. Petersburg in 1949. His parents were simple workers and little is known about his early years. What is known is that Putin was a gifted child and entered the prestigious Leningrad State University at only 16 years of age. He studied law and eventually joined the KGB, the Soviet secret police. In 1985, he started working for the mayor of St. Petersburg and rose through the ranks to become Russia’s prime minister in 1999. In 2000, he was elected president of Russia and has held that office ever since.
Domestic policies
The Russian president has been in the news recently for his country’s domestic policies, which have been in the spotlight since he returned to the presidency in 2012. Putin has made several controversial changes to Russia’s laws, including a ban on adoptions by U.S. citizens, a “homosexual propaganda” law that has drawn criticism from human rights groups

British Prime Minister Theresa May was the first foreign leader to visit Trump after his inauguration. The two discussed strengthening the special relationship between their countries and working together to tackle terrorism and other global challenges.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been one of Trump’s most vocal critics. The two leaders had a tense meeting at the G7 summit in May, where they disagreed on climate change, trade, and immigration policies.
