The US presidential candidate has said that he doesn’t know why Putin had “endorsed” his rival
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has said that he was “very offended” when Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke in support of his election rival, US Vice President Kamala Harris.
Asked during an international economic forum in Vladivostok on Thursday if he had “a favorite” in the US election, Putin said that he will follow Biden’s endorsement of Harris and “will support her as well.”
Putin also said that “Trump imposed more sanctions on Russia than any president who came before him,” and suggested that Harris “would maybe refrain from such actions.”
