The Kremlin has responded to President Trump’s strong remarks about Vladimir Putin, emphasizing continued cooperation with the U.S. despite tensions. Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia remains focused on building relations and that Putin is open to talks if necessary. Trump’s frustration stemmed from Putin’s suggestion of an interim Ukrainian government, prompting threats of heavy tariffs on Russian oil buyers. While Russian media acknowledged Trump’s stance, some outlets criticized his approach, questioning his commitment to agreements.
