Title: Kremlin: We Gained Nothing from Trump but Continued Dialogue

The spokesperson for the Russian presidency, Dmitry Peskov, stated today that "Russia did not gain any benefits from Donald Trump's presidency in the United States from 2017 to 2021, other than the continuation of dialogue between the two countries, which is considered positive in itself." Peskov made these comments during a conference call with journalists when asked about Trump's statements regarding his working relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the past. He said, "Whether Putin and Trump got along or not, Russia did not gain any advantages during Trump's presidency," and added, "On the contrary, many restrictions were imposed on Russia. However, despite that, there was dialogue. This, in itself, is considered a positive element." Peskov indicated that Russia and Putin are common topics raised during election campaigns in the United States.
