The recent 90-minute phone call between President Trump and President Putin marks a new phase in their complicated relationship, characterized by both cooperation and conflict. During Trump’s first term, the duo faced intense scrutiny over allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections. Despite assessments from U.S. intelligence agencies confirming Moscow's meddling, Trump often echoed Putin's denials. Their interaction often featured Trump praising Putin's leadership while dismissing critical investigations, reflecting a complex dynamic of admiration and diplomatic tensions throughout his presidency.
Trump has repeatedly praised Putin's leadership, stating that in terms of governance, he believes Putin deserves an 'A,' while contrasting it with his predecessors.
The relationship has been marred by accusations of Russian election interference, despite Trump's dismissal of these claims, often siding with Putin.
