Russian President Vladimir Putin commended US President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday, calling him an experienced and intelligent politician. However, Putin voiced concerns over Trump’s safety following assassination attempts earlier in the year.
Putin Lauds Trump’s Intelligence but Expresses Safety Concerns
In July, Trump survived an attack in Pennsylvania, sustaining injuries. In September, another attempt was foiled when a man allegedly positioned himself with a rifle at Trump’s Florida golf course. Speaking to reporters in Kazakhstan, Putin described the incidents as shocking, highlighting the uncivilized tactics used against Trump during the US election campaign. “By the way, in my opinion, he is not safe now,” Putin said, referencing America’s history of violent incidents. He expressed hope that Trump would remain cautious and vigilant.
Criticism of Trump’s Family Sparks Outrage
Putin also criticized the attacks on Trump’s family during the election, calling them “revolting.” He said even in Russia, such behavior would be unacceptable, noting, “Not even bandits would resort to such methods.” Putin’s remarks reflect his disapproval of what he sees as an increasingly hostile and uncivilized political environment in the United States, particularly during the presidential campaign.
Ukraine Conflict and Its Implications for Trump
Shifting to the ongoing war in Ukraine, Putin accused the Biden administration of escalating the conflict by supplying Kyiv with Western missiles capable of striking Russia. He speculated that this move might provide Trump with an opportunity to de-escalate tensions or make his presidency more challenging.
Regardless of the intent, Putin expressed confidence in Trump’s ability to navigate the situation. He reiterated Moscow’s readiness for dialogue, leaving the door open for future cooperation with a Trump administration. As the world watches the transition of power in the United States, Putin’s remarks highlight his endorsement of Trump’s capabilities and the challenges facing the incoming president.
