Dmitry Medvedev: Trump's Inauguration proves multipolarity of the world

The inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump and the subsequent conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping underscore the multipolarity of the modern world, Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia's Security Council believes.

Medvedev shared his thoughts on Telegram following the events.

Donald Trump officially assumed office on Monday, January 20.

Medvedev described the inauguration ceremony in Washington as "amusing.” Reflecting on Putin's conversation with Xi, he emphasized that today's world is more concerned with the advancement of humanity as a whole rather than the prosperity of the United States alone.

"Let's Make the World Better Together!" Medvedev wrote, in both Russian and Chinese.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and the leader of the People's Republic of China (PRC) Xi Jinping held talks via video link on January 21.

Skepticism on Russian-American Relations

Previously, Medvedev expressed skepticism about the likelihood of normalizing relations between Russia and the United States. It would be "extremely difficult" for both sides to overcome the consequences of prior decisions that have strained the ties, he noted.
