Russian President Vladimir Putin complimented U.S. President Donald Trump on advancing the denuclearization of North Korea.

“We’re glad that the Korean Peninsula issue is starting to get resolved. To a great extent it was possible thanks to the personal engagement of President Trump, who opted for dialog instead of confrontation,” Putin said during a joint press conference after his first one-on-one summit with Trump.
