Vladimir Putin couldn’t hold his laughter in when Minister of Agriculture Alexander Tkachov suggested exporting pork to Muslim-majority Indonesia.
During the October 13 meeting on the development of agriculture, Tkachov proposed increasing pork production for exports to China and Indonesia. Putin responded, “Indonesia is a Muslim country. They do not eat pork there.”
Tkachov defended his proposal saying, “It does not matter. They will eat it.”
Through his laughter, Putin responded, “They won’t.”
