Russian leader Vladimir Putin said that US President Donald Trump has a sense of humor. He has good relations with the American leader, said Putin during a press conference on September 3.
Putin assured that during all four days of his visit to China, there were no negative comments made about the US President.
"Trump is not without a sense of humor. I have good relations with him. During all these four days at various meetings, no one ever expressed any negative judgments about the US administration," the Russian leader said.
Putin’s comments were made in response to a statement by Trump on September 2, when the US leader accused Russia, China, and North Korea of planning a conspiracy against the United States.
"May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration. Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un as you conspire against the United States of America," Trump wrote.
Putin’s visit to China
On August 31, Putin arrived in China for a four-day visit. On the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, Putin claimed that Russia did not start the war against Ukraine and that it would continue until the "root causes" are addressed.
On September 2, Putin and Xi Jinping held talks in Beijing, but no statements about Ukraine were issued after the meeting.
On September 3, Putin attended a military parade in Beijing celebrating the 80th anniversary of China’s victory in the war of resistance against Japan and in World War II.
