The Russian president named fixing ties with the US as among the country\u2019s national interests<\/p>\n
There\u2019s \u201cno reason\u201d for the US and Russia not being \u201cgreat trade partners,\u201d US Representative Anna Paulina Luna has said.
\nThe Florida Republican responded to remarks made by Russian President Vladimir Putin during his speech and comments to the Valdai forum on Thursday.
\nDuring\u00a0an almost\u00a0four-hour appearance at the event, the Russian leader said that the \u201crestoration of full-fledged relations with the US\u201d corresponded with the country\u2019s \u201cnational interests.\u201d\u00a0
\nLuna, who serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, reposted the respective excerpt from Putin\u2019s speech on her official X account, agreeing with the Russian leader that Moscow and Washington should indeed mend their ties.\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u201cThis needs to happen. There is no reason why we can\u2019t be great trade partners with Russia,\u201d the congresswoman wrote.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Putin offers peace to the West. Will it accept?<\/p>\n
In his Valdai speech, Putin repeatedly signaled readiness to fix ties with Washington should the US be willing to show reciprocity and respect Russia\u2019s national interests.\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u201cWe see that the current US administration is guided by, first of all, the interests of its own country, the way it sees them. I believe this is a rational approach. But then Russia as well reserves the right to be guided by its national interests,\u201d Putin stated.\u00a0
\nThe Russian president also spoke about the relationship with his US counterpart, Donald Trump. Despite his image and his tendency to \u201cshock\u201d the public, Trump has proven to be a \u201ccomfortable\u201d interlocutor who is actually able to \u201clisten and hear,\u201d Putin revealed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
