Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFormer Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev says the election of Republican Donald Trump as US president offers an opportunity to repair ties between Moscow and Washington.
The Interfax news agency reports Gorbachev saying, “maybe he will understand that a lot depends on the position of Russia.”
Speaking Wednesday from a hospital bed, Gorbachev says, “Under a new president of the US the Russian-American relationship could get significantly better. I am convinced it is essential now to go straight into a two-way dialogue on the highest level.”
The 85-year-old Gorbachev was admitted to the hospital for what Russian media reported was a planned pacemaker.
