The United States sharply defended itself against the statements of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He declared that he will support Kamala Harris and not Donald Trump in the November presidential elections in the USA.

The White House responded to these words through the mouth of national security communications adviser John Kirby. He emphasized that Putin should not favor anyone and should stop talking about the American elections.
“The only person who should decide who will be the next president of the United States is the American people. The US would greatly appreciate it if he would a) stop talking about our election and b) stop meddling in it,” Kirby told the Russian leader .
Putin addressed Kamala Harris on Thursday at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. It was obvious from his amused tone and expression that his words could not be taken too seriously, as can be seen in the video at the beginning of the article.
“As for the favorites, there is no need to determine them. It is ultimately the choice of the American people. I said that our favorite, so to speak, was the incumbent Mr. Biden. He was removed from the list, but he advised all his supporters to support Mrs. Harris. We will do that, too, we’ll support her, that’s the first thing. Second, her laugh is so expressive and contagious, that means she’s doing well,” Putin said in Vladivostok.
