Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump don’t have special relations as there was no possibility for that, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"Is there any ‘chemistry’ in [relations] with Trump? Are there any special relations with Trump? I don’t think so. There has been no possibility so far," Peskov told the Big Game program on Russia’s Channel One.
The two presidents have been unable so far to "feel each other," he said, noting that during those rare moments of contacts between the Russian and US leaders the issues they discussed were not translated into real actions, which is disappointing.
According to Peskov, during his contacts with Putin, Trump showed that he seeks to discuss vital and challenging issues in various formats and via different channels. "In fact, the awful lack of this dialogue is felt now and unfortunately, this wish was not formalized and really implemented," TASS cited the spokesman as saying,
"What does this mean? Does this mean that there are "wings" with a different stance in the Washington establishment or that President [Trump] cannot fully share his stance in favor of dialogue with Russia? This is not our problem," Peskov added.
