US President Donald Trump says good relations between the United States and Russia would be a good thing especially if cooperation contributed to the defeat of Islamic State terror group.
Answering a question whether he respects the Russian President in an interview with the Fox broadcaster yesterday, Trump said that he feel that good ties with Moscow would help to fight terrorism.
At a joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Theresa May on January, 27th, Trump said that a good relationship with Russia and possible cooperation against Daesh would be beneficial and something that he was ready to consider.
Donald Trump has repeatedly advocated establishing a political dialogue with Moscow, particularly in regards to the fight against terrorism and expressed readiness to build positive relations with Russis. Moscow has long been promoting the idea of fruitful cooperation with Washington. Trump also said that maintaining good relations with Putin was his asset, not a liability.
