Pence Reveals Why Putin Respects Trump

In an interview with Fox News, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence stated that Vladimir Putin is someone who cares about Russia's interests. "I've spoken with him several times over the phone. You know, it's interesting; he speaks more softly than one might expect. American media has its perceptions of him. He speaks very calmly. He is very prudent, very cautious. In my opinion, he is someone who cares about Russia's interests," Pence said.

According to him, "One of the reasons he respects Trump is that Putin knows the U.S. president acts in the interests of his people. Yes, they disagree on many issues. The president has criticized Vladimir Putin, but he is willing to work with anyone who will be beneficial for the United States. And we all agreed we need to stop the killings. Let's move forward."
