Interview
with FOX News Channel.
Fox News
Sunday host Chris Wallace: President Putin, thank you for speaking
with us.
I am
going to get to some specifics about the summit
in a moment, but let’s begin with the big picture. President
Trump said in his news conference that our relationship has never been
worse, but that changed a few hours ago. How has the relationship,
big picture, between the US and Russia changed today?
President
of Russia Vladimir Putin: You know, we should be grateful primarily
to our aides, our staff who have been interacting with each other not only
recently to prepare this meeting, but for months before that.
I am
referring to the work of our agencies in the spheres
of special concern for the United States and Russia,
primarily counterterrorism.
President
Trump and I pointed out today that terrorism is a bigger threat
than it may seem at first glance. If the worse comes
to the worst, God forbid, and terrorists lay their hands
on weapons of mass destruction, the consequences will be
terrible.
Our
military and special services are building relations in this sphere
of crucial importance for our countries. A case in point is
our cooperation in Syria, even though we do not fully agree
on the global goal and ways to achieve it.
However,
we maintain cooperation between our militaries and special services. Their
work concerns the fight against terrorism in the broad meaning
of the word.
