Kremlin talks about similarities between Putin and Trump
The Kremlin has said that Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump are similar in their principled approach to international relations. The Press Secretary of Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, spoke about this on a broadcast of TV channel ABC.
"One defends the national interests of the United States, and the second - the national interests of the Russian Federation. And they understand very well that sometimes it is better for the national interest to maintain good relations with a colleague," stressed Peskov.
According to him, the establishment of bilateral ties between Moscow and Washington is possible.
"If the two presidents meet, exchange points of view and decide that they want to resume dialogue, then there will be a chance to improve relations," assured Peskov.
At the same time, the Kremlin believes that the Trump administration needs time to work out more precise formulations of its views on Russia, but "Moscow has enough patience to wait for it."
