Speaker of Russia’s State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin says the Donald Trump’s position in fighting terrorism, in structuring of effective Russian-U.S. relations and in defending national interests is similar to the position of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin.
"Exactly what he (Trump) said, has been said by our president," the speaker said in an interview with the NTV television channel on Sunday. "Our president speaks about fighting terrorism, our president speaks about defeating interests of this country, though minding interests of other countries. Our president has been speaking about bringing closer the positions," TASS quoted him as saying.
"There are quite many point of intersection of the kind, and very many similar positions of Putin and Trump," he continued. "Time will show whether Trump will follow the statements he made."
"It is really complicated to be speaking about it now, but anyway Trump has opportunities for that," he added.
