Russian President Vladimir Putin said that dialogue with Donald Trump could be “constructive”, in comments released after his US counterpart called for Russia to be re-admitted to the exclusive Group of Seven club of nations.
Trump is “a serious-minded person who knows how to listen to people and respond to their arguments,” Putin said in a Russian television interview, the full version of which will air on Sunday.
“This leads me to believe that dialogue may prove to be constructive,” the Russian leader added.
