Trump hails Putin as smart
Washington, Dec 31 (IBNS): In a move that will cause a significant discomfort to the present US government, President-elect Donald Trump has hailed Russian President Vladimir Putin as a smart man, following the latter's decision to not act against the US government's move to expel 35 Russian diplomats.
"Great move on delay (by V. Putin) - I always knew he was very smart!" Trump's tweet read.
The praise came soon after Putin announced that he won't be expelling any American diplomats stationed in Russia or do anything to them.
