American Journalist asked Russian President Putin, "Mr President, we are weeks away from the US election. Russia again is accused of interfering, and that you have had private conversations with former President [Donald] Trump. Have you been speaking with him? And what have you been saying?" Why replying to US Journalist query, President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday (October 24), "This issue has been making headlines for years now. At one point, Mr Trump and Russia were accused of being connected. However, after an investigation conducted in the United States, everyone, including US Congress, concluded that it was utter nonsense and that nothing of the kind ever happened. There were no contacts back then, and there are none now. Russian President Vladimir Putin schooled American Journalist for accusing Puover his alleged ties with Donald Trump. Russia-US relations after the elections depend primarily on the United States. If the United States is open to building normal relations with Russia, we will do the same. If not, so be it. This is up to the future Administration."
