Moscow Unfazed by Trump's Frustration with Putin
Recent developments show a cooling of relations between the White House and Russia, with President Trump expressing dissatisfaction over lack of progress in resolving the Ukraine conflict. Despite Trump's harsh rhetoric, the Kremlin remains calm and hopes to mend bilateral relations through diplomatic dialogue.
Recently, the White House has been showing a colder stance towards Russia, as seen in the headline of today's Moskovsky Komsomolets edition: 'The Russian-American Chill'.
After the recent phone call between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump on 3 July, where they didn't make progress on ending the war in Ukraine, President Trump expressed his dissatisfaction. He later threatened a 10 percent tariff on countries aligned with BRICS, including Russia.
President Trump's frustration peaked when he criticized Putin at a cabinet meeting, saying, 'We get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin.' In response, the Kremlin remained calm, with Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov stating they plan to continue dialogue to mend relations.
Russian media outlets were critical of Trump, accusing him of lacking geopolitical achievements and highlighting his unpredictable behavior. This marks a shift from previous positive coverage of the Trump administration in Russia.
Earlier optimism about US-Russia relations has faded, with talks between the two countries stalled and diplomatic missions not restored as planned.
