Russian president Vladimir Putin has said that he and his U.S. counterpart president Donald Trump are on first-name terms and credited Washington for its co-operation with Moscow on terrorism.
In the latest installment of a pre-recorded interview with state-run news agency Tass, which was released on Wednesday, the Russian president was asked about his relationship with the four men who have been U.S. president over the 20 years Putin has been in power.
When asked by the interviewer Andrei Vandenko how he addresses the current White House resident, Putin said, “He calls me Vladimir, I call him Donald.”
