Russian President Vladimir Putin extended birthday greetings to U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday, describing him as a “bright, remarkable person and politician” and suggesting the two leaders could raise their countries’ ties to a new level.
“Dear Mr. President, dear Donald, I wholeheartedly congratulate you, such a bright, remarkable person and politician, on your 80th birthday!”
Putin said in his greeting on the Kremlin website, quoted by Russian news agencies.
The Russian leader spoke to Trump by telephone for 55 minutes, according to Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov, who said Putin offered his congratulations in an “informal” manner.
Putin’s greeting said he “valued the mutual understanding between us, which allows us to discuss … even the most complex issues on the bilateral and international agenda openly and frankly.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
