In a move signaling the potential warming of US-Russia relations, Russian President Vladimir Putin extended his congratulations to US President-elect Donald Trump ahead of his inauguration as the 47th president of the United States. During a video call with Russia’s Security Council, Putin expressed optimism about re-establishing direct communication channels between the two nations, which he said had been severed by the outgoing administration.
President Trump, inaugurated on Monday, announced plans to meet with Putin, though a date remains unconfirmed. Trump pledged to prioritize a swift resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, emphasizing peace efforts as a key component of his foreign policy.
During a televised statement, Putin welcomed Trump’s commitment to improving bilateral ties and preventing global conflicts, including World War III. He reiterated Russia’s openness to dialogue on the Ukrainian crisis, highlighting the need for a sustainable resolution that accounts for Moscow’s strategic interests.
The Trump administration, with Republican control of Congress, is poised to enact its ambitious policy agenda. Following the inauguration, Trump is expected to sign executive orders targeting expedited deportations, expanded fossil fuel development, and reduced civil service protections for federal employees.
As both nations signal a willingness to recalibrate relations, global attention turns to the evolving dynamics between Moscow and Washington. Putin’s remarks underscore Russia’s readiness for constructive engagement, setting the stage for potential collaboration on security and conflict resolution under Trump’s leadership.
