Trump: I don’t understand how to interpret Putin’s words about supporting Harris
Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) that Joe Biden had previously been Moscow’s favorite in the American elections, but after he dropped out of the race, Russia’s “support” would go to his successor, Kamala Harris.
At the same time, Putin noted that Moscow has no right to determine the favorites for the post of the head of the United States, and “ultimately the choice is up to the American people.” He emphasized that Russia will respect the will of US citizens.

Putin spoke about Harris’ infectious laughter and hoped for sanctions waiver
Putin recalled that former US President Donald Trump imposed a huge number of restrictions on Russia, so Moscow expects that if Harris wins, Washington will abandon such a policy.
The Russian leader also complimented Harris’ infectious laugh, which he said showed the US presidential candidate was doing well, and that there was hope that relations between Washington and Moscow could change under her leadership.
Trump has imposed more restrictions and sanctions on Russia than any president has ever imposed before. And if all is well with Ms. Harris, perhaps she will refrain from such actions.
Later, Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov spoke about Harris’s laughter. According to him, before the words of the Russian head of state, everyone “waited for a signal” to express sympathy for the laughter of the Democratic presidential candidate.
Now each of us must fall in love with her laughter.

The only people who should decide who will be the next president of the United States are the American people. And we would be very grateful if Mr. Putin would first stop talking about our elections and second, stop interfering in them.
