Russia-US trade started to grow under Trump, even though the growth rate is not high at this point, Russia's President Vladimir Putin stated.
"Our trade started to grow after the new US administration came to power. So far, it’s merely symbolic, but it’s still a rise of 20%. I mean that we have a lot of promising areas for joint work," Putin said.
Russia and the US have a lot to offer each other in various areas of cooperation.
"Russia-US business and investment cooperation clearly has a lot of potential. Russia and the US have a lot to offer each other in trade, the energy sector, the digital industry, high technology and space exploration. Arctic cooperation also looks relevant, as well as the resumption of interregional ties, particularly between Russia’s Far East and the US West Coast," Putin added.
