President Vladimir Putin brushed aside President Trump’s threat of new sanctions against Russia, the New York Times reports.
Said Putin: “He is not only a smart person, he is a pragmatic person, and I can hardly imagine that decisions will be made that would harm the American economy itself.”
He added: “It is probably better for us to meet and, based on today’s realities, talk calmly about all areas that are of interest to both the U.S. and Russia.”
