Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated today, Thursday, that "Russian President Vladimir Putin's praise for U.S. President Joe Biden recently was just a compliment." Trump said during a speech to his supporters in Charleston, South Carolina, regarding the Russian president's statement that it was "just a compliment from him." He added, "Many people would say it's very bad... not at all, it's good statements." Putin considered that Joe Biden's presence in the U.S. presidency is better for Russia compared to his potential rival in the upcoming elections, Donald Trump. Putin said that Biden is "a more experienced person, predictable in his positions, and a seasoned politician."
