Putin once again congratulated the Republican candidate on his victory in the election and wished him success in the execution of the pre-election program. The Russian president expressed his readiness for partnership with the new administration of the White House on "principles of equality, mutual respect and non-interference in each other's internal affairs." 

Putin and Trump agreed that the Russian-US relations remain in an "extremely unsatisfactory condition." They also spoke in favor of active joint work for their normalization in the direction of constructive cooperation on a wide range of issues, including "the creation of a sound basis of bilateral ties through the development of their trade and economic component."
