Newly elected US President Donald Trump said that he has not yet spoken with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, but allows for such a possibility. He said this in an interview with NBC News.
"I think we will talk," he said about the conversation with Putin.
Trump also reported on his phone conversations with Harris and President Joe Biden after the election.
"Very nice calls, very respectful both ways," Trump said, describing the conversations, adding that Harris "talked about the transition, and she said she wanted it to go as smoothly as possible, which of course I agree with." .
Trump said that he and Biden agreed by phone to have dinner together "very soon."
Trump said that after winning the election, he already spoke with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, but did not reveal additional details about this conversation.
Vladimir Putin can talk to Donald Trump, who won the US elections, even before his inauguration in January, said the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, Dmytro Peskov.
At the same time, Peskov emphasized that Russia will not take the first step, because, according to him, "Washington, not Moscow, is to blame for the breakdown of relations."
Putin's statements about Trump's victory
Russian President Vladimir Putin gave his first comment on Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election and congratulated him.
According to the Russian president, he was greatly impressed by the way Trump behaved during the assassination attempt during the election campaign: "He turned out to be a courageous person."
According to Putin, during Trump's first presidential term, he was "completely baited."
"I don't know what will happen now," he continued and recalled Trump's statements about his readiness to "contribute to the end of the Ukrainian crisis."
He does not plan to call Trump, although he does not consider it "indecent."
