Putin called "his favorite" in the US Baiden's elections, but he was "removed from the race"

Now Moscow will support Harris, as "Biden recommended". "I said, we had a favorite, if you can say so, the incumbent President Mr Biden. He was removed from the race, but he recommended all his supporters to support Mrs. Harris. That's how we will do it too, we will support it," said it ironically Russian president. Putin noted the "contagious" laughter of the US presidential candidate from the Democratic Party.

"She laughs so clearly and contagiously that it indicates that everything is well," the Kremlin leader added. He noted that the opponent Harris Donald Trump, when he was President of the United States, "imposed as many restrictions and sanctions on Russia as no president had been introduced to him. " Putin expressed his hope that Harris would "refrain from such actions" in the event of his election.

On August 2, 2017, US President Donald Trump signed sanctions on Russia, which provided for penalties, including for European companies, which, in particular, would cooperate with the Russian Gazprom in the implementation of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline. On April 6, 2018, the Trump Administration imposed financial sanctions against 38 people and institutions from Russia because of the "unfinished activity" of the Russian Federation and attempts to destroy order in democratic countries.

We will remind, on July 17, the President of the US President Donald Trump stated that he was not a supporter of restrictions when he commented on the possibility of weakening sanctions against the Russian Federation. In an interview with Bloomberg, he remembered a good relationship with President Putin. On September 10, the debate of US presidential candidates will be held. Kamala Harris and Donald Trump agreed to hold them.
