Putin prefers Harris to Trump in White House
At an economic forum in Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to admit he would rather see Kamala Harris than Donald Trump as the next occupant of the White House.
Putin argued that he first gave Joe Biden as his favourite for the US election on 5 November. As Biden dropped out of the race and declared his support for Kamala Harris, Putin says he will do just that.
"She smiles so expressively and infectiously that it means everything will be fine with her," the Russian leader spoke ironically.
Donald Trump, who himself did not hide his admiration for Putin, can count on little support from the Kremlin boss. "Never before has a president imposed more sanctions and restrictions on Russia than Trump, Kamala Harris may not," Putin added.
