Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday said that the bilateral trade between the US and Russia “started to grow" after the change of administration in America this year.

Putin said that the trade between the two rival countries witnessed a “symbolic" growth of 20% since Trump came to power in the US.

“When the new administration came to power, the bilateral trade started to grow. It’s still very symbolic. Still, we have a growth of 20%. We have a lot of dimensions for joint work. Russia and the US can offer each other so much in trade, digital, high tech, and space exploration," Putin told reporters, as Trump stood silent and smiling beside him.

His remarks came at a time when Trump has imposed 50% tariffs on India for its decision to continue buying Russian oil, alleging that it funds the “Russian war machine" in Ukraine, while Washington continues to grow its trade relations with Moscow.
