GUBKIN – U.S. President Donald Trump is an open-minded person who is able to listen to and react to an opponent’s arguments, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
“I can say definitely – and it seems to me I said this already at a press conference in Germany – he is quite an open-minded person and significantly differs from the TV picture and image he created of himself during the election campaign,” Putin said at a meeting with workers of the Lebedinsky GOK iron ore mining and processing plant, when asked about his impressions from his recent meeting with Trump.
At the same time, Putin said this difference did not surprise him, because “an election campaign is not something based on which you judge about a person; after all, it’s a special state of mind and behavior.”
