Details: Putin was asked: “Who is better for us – Biden or Trump?”
Putin’s direct speech: “Biden. He is a more experienced person, he is predictable, he is a politician of the old formation. But we will work with any US leader who the American people will trust.”
More details: The Russian President was also asked how he felt about reports about Biden’s health. According to Putin, this is connected, in particular, with the election campaign in the United States: “I think the domestic political campaign, the election campaign, is gaining momentum in the United States. It is taking on more and more acute forms. And it is not right for us to interfere in this process. Listen, I met with Biden in Switzerland, this was three years ago. Even then they said that he was incompetent. I didn’t see anything like that. Well, yes, he looked at his piece of paper, I looked at mine. Nothing like that. But the fact that he somewhere, getting out of a helicopter, he hit his head, well… Anyone here who hasn’t hit his head somewhere, let him be the first to throw a stone at him.”
He added that, in his opinion, the current position of the US administration is “extremely harmful and erroneous.” “And I told President Biden about this at one time,” Putin concluded.
