MOSCOW (Reuters) -President Vladimir Putin said on Friday there was “light at the end of the tunnel” in Russia-U.S. relations.
The Russian president, answering questions during a visit to a nuclear research centre, said he was sure that President Donald Trump’s leadership qualities would help in restoring relations from recent lows.
“With the arrival of President Trump, I think that a light at the end of the tunnel has finally loomed. And now we had a very good, meaningful and frank meeting in Alaska,” Putin said, referring to last week’s summit.
“The next steps now depend on the leadership of the United States, but I am confident that the leadership qualities of the current president, President Trump, are a good guarantee that relations will be restored.”
