Putin: Trump ‘not my bride, and I’m not his groom’

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin refrains from criticizing US President Donald Trump at a news conference in China, but says a decision to shutter Russian diplomatic outposts in the US was poorly handled.

Putin dismisses as “naive” a question about whether he is disappointed in Trump.

In comments carried by Russian news agencies, Putin says Trump is “not my bride, and I’m not his groom.”

Asked how Russia would feel if Trump were impeached, Putin says it would be “absolutely wrong” for Russia to discuss domestic US politics.
