Russian President Vladimir Putin praised President Trump, discounting allegations of links between the White House and Kremlin as “some sort of spy-mania,” Bloomberg reports.
“We see some quite serious achievements, even in this short period of time that he’s been working,” Putin said at his annual press conference in Moscow on Thursday. “Look at the markets, how they’ve risen. That shows investors’ confidence in the American economy, it shows they believe in what President Trump is doing in this area.”
Putin dismissed the allegations of links between Russia and Trump’s campaign as propaganda “invented by people who are in opposition to Trump in order to make his work look illegitimate.”
Putin is running for another six years as president of Russia.
