Russian President Vladimir Putin and US presidential candidate Donald Trump have praised each other, saying they would welcome an improvement in the now-icy ties between their two nations.
Trump-who holds the lead in opinion polls in his bid for the Republican nomination and was dubbed the “absolute leader” in the race by Putin-said that by working together, the United States and Russia could work toward defeating terrorism and “restoring world peace.”
The billionaire businessman’s remarks were in stark contrast to his Republican rivals’ rhetoric. Republicans have frequently taken to bashing Putin and have used his rocky relationship with Democratic President Barack Obama as evidence that the administration lacks strength in international affairs.
