Baku-APA. No one expects Russian-US relations to improve very fast after the victory of Donald Trump at presidential election but if the leaders demonstrate political will, there will be a chance to solve problems constructively, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, APA reports quoting TASS.
"No one expects that relationship will improve in a fortnight between Moscow and Washington. We have a very heavy burden of disagreements on our shoulders. But nonetheless, if our two leaders, I mean the current Russian leader President Putin and President-elect Trump, are wise enough to have a political will to talk to each other and to try to solve problems not by confronting each other, not by using, let’s say language of sanctions or other illogical things hurting both sides, then we really have a chance at least to talk and try to solve the problems being constructive," Peskov said.
"Actually, they seem to be very pragmatic, both of them. They point out as a main objective to protect national interests. We’ve heard Mr Trump mentioning overwhelming priority of America’s national interests, and the same is being proclaimed by President Putin. He is very consistent in saying that Russia’s and Russian people’s prosperity and their national interests are the main objective and the main priority," Peskov went on.
"At the same time, they both expressed readiness to develop good relationship with other countries in the world, as far as third countries are ready to go. This is a very good, very positive coincidence, in my opinion," he said.
