he Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump received a surprise remarks from the Russian President Vladimar Putin.
Trumps seems to have a new fan in his corner Vladimir Putin the real estate mogul thinks it was a “great honor” to get compliments from the Russian leader.
Speaking earlier today, the Russian leader said Trump is “a very colorful person. Talent, with any doubt,” Putin said.
“But it’s not our affair to determine his worthiness – that’s up to the United States,” Putin added. “But he is absolutely the leader in the Presidential race. He wants to move to a different level of relations, to more solid, deeper relations with Russia and how can Russia not welcome that – we welcome that.”
Trump says “it is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond.”
“I have always felt that Russia and the United States should be able to work well with each other towards defeating terrorism and restoring world peace, not to mention trade and all of the other benefits derived from mutual respect,” Trump’s statement continued.
On the campaign trail, Trump has often said he thinks he could have a good relationship with the Russian leader. He has also called Putin his “stable mate” since both was featured on the same episode of a recent edition of CBS’ “60 Minutes.”
