In a rare display of using English in his public statements, Russian President Vladimir Putin has extended an invitation to former U.S. President Donald Trump to visit Russia. The invitation came during Putin’s annual end-of-year news conference in Moscow on Thursday.
During the conference, Putin remarked, “By the way, I have heard that former U.S. President Mr. Trump said he may come to Russia. If he does, I think that will be good. I think that the current President is not averse to improving Russian-American relations. If there is a wish to come here, he will be welcomed.”
This invitation is seen by some analysts as an attempt to further divide the United States politically, as Trump remains a polarizing figure in American politics. It also comes at a time when the relationship between Russia and the United States is under strain due to issues such as cyberattacks, human rights abuses, and Ukraine.
While Trump has not responded publicly to Putin’s invitation, his potential visit to Russia could have significant implications for both domestic U.S. politics and international relations.
Both the U.S. and Russian governments have not made official statements regarding this invitation.
