Kremlin Releases Statement on Call Between Trump and Putin

Source: Mediaite


by Josh Feldman | 3:43 pm, January 28th, 2017

The Kremlin has already released a statement on the readout of the call between President Trump and President Putin earlier this afternoon.

As of this posting, the White House has not released its readout yet.

The Kremlin statement says that both leaders showed “a disposition to actively work together on stabilization and development of Russian-American cooperation in a constructive, equal and mutually beneficial basis.” Putin and Trump apparently discussed joint efforts to fight ISIS, and they also had this to say about both nations’ economic ties:

It stresses the importance of the restoration of mutually beneficial trade and economic ties between the business communities of the two countries, which could further stimulate progressive and stable development of bilateral relations.

Just so you know, Donald Trump Has a Much Higher Approval Rating in Russia Than He Does in America:

More than 70 % of Russians expect good things from Donald Trump's presidency, according to a new poll.

...statement celebrating possible military coordination in Syria, thus painting Trump into a corner. What happened to joint statements?

released this info (imho), and they would have claimed it was just a nicey-nice courtesy call. Kremlin is showing the world that our president is a fucking Russian puppet.

(who obviously runs the Clockwork Orange and the White House) regarding the Kremlin call. I think the Kremlin once again shows that it has their balls in a vice as they released EVERYTHING that was discussed -- I have a feeling Bannon and the Rump team would have claimed it was a courtesy call -- Trump: "it was a very nice call, very nice, I think we can work together, it was very nice"

drumpf will remove the sanctions and russian oligarchs will buy hugely overpriced properties from drumpf as repayment. It's their personal wealth and power that they are trying to increase, neither truly gives a damn about anything else.

Russia is taking advantage of the US much more than Mexico. But tRump will never acknowledge that truth.

At this point Putin releasing the golden shower video with Donald and female prostitutes would not harm him with his voters. Which makes me think that it must've been male prostitutes in order for Donald to drop to his knees like this.
