In a broadcast interview, he was evaluated as “an experienced and predictable politician”
As for the controversy surrounding Biden’s old age, “We found no signs of cognitive problems.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his opinion on the 14th (local time) from Russia’s point of view, that it would be better for US President Joe Biden to win the US presidential election in November rather than for Donald Trump.
According to foreign media such as the Financial Times (FT) and the TASS News Agency, President Putin said this when asked if he preferred Trump or Biden in a nationally broadcast interview that day.
President Putin evaluated, “The American leader (Biden) is a politician with more experience and predictability (than Trump).”
The FT said it was the first time Putin had mentioned this year’s US presidential election.
Prior to this statement, President Biden criticized former President Trump the previous day for “giving in to the Russian dictator” and urged Republican lawmakers in Congress to approve additional funding for Ukraine.
On the 13th, the US Senate passed a security package worth $ 95.3 billion (about 127 trillion won), which includes support for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Of this, $60 billion (about 80 trillion won) is the aid budget for Ukraine. However, because former President Trump opposes the bill, it is unclear whether it will pass the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
Former President Trump was criticized for being particularly lenient towards President Putin during his time in office. US intelligence agencies believed that Trump had interfered in the 2016 US presidential election to help then Republican candidate Hillary Clinton win over former Democratic Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
President Putin also responded cautiously to the controversy surrounding President Biden’s advanced age, saying, “I am not a doctor and I will refrain from making comments related to that.”
However, President Putin said he considers this debate part of the increasingly vicious US presidential election campaign and said, “We have not found any evidence that Biden is unfit to serve as president.”
When President Putin met with President Biden in Geneva in 2021, he dismissed the issue, saying there were no signs of cognitive problems.
He said, “I met Biden a few years ago, and even then, there were rumors of cognitive problems. He looked at his notes from time to time, but I looked at mine every now and then.”
President Putin also said that President Biden hit his head on a helicopter while leaving the scene, saying, “It’s a mistake that anyone can make.”
