Russian President Vladimir Putin has praised President-elect Donald Trump as “intelligent and experienced,” stating that he believes the incoming leader of the United States is capable of finding solutions to the world’s most pressing issues.

In a recent interview with a Russian news outlet, Putin expressed his optimism about the future of US-Russia relations under Trump’s presidency. He commended Trump for his business acumen and ability to understand complex issues, stating that he believes the two leaders can work together effectively.

“I believe that Mr. Trump is a smart and experienced businessman who will be able to find solutions to the many challenges facing our world today,” Putin said. “I look forward to working with him to improve relations between our two countries and address issues such as terrorism, nuclear proliferation, and the crisis in Syria.”

Putin’s comments come at a time of heightened tensions between the US and Russia, with both countries engaging in a war of words over issues such as the conflict in Syria and allegations of Russian interference in the US presidential election. However, Putin’s praise for Trump suggests that he sees an opportunity for a fresh start in the relationship between the two nations.

As Trump prepares to take office in January, all eyes will be on how he handles the complex dynamics of US-Russia relations. With Putin expressing confidence in Trump’s abilities, it remains to be seen how the two leaders will work together to navigate the challenges that lie ahead.
