Obama on Tuesday
strongly criticized Trump for praising Russian President
Vladimir Putin and for appearing on a TV channel, RT, funded by
the Russian government.
"Unfortunately, we see continued displays of often hard-core
Russophobia," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, commenting on
Obama's intervention, told a conference call with reporters. "We
can only express regret in this regard.
"This rhetoric, which is being formulated in electoral campaign
style ... is unlikely to help fledgling fragile attempts to
build at least some sort of mutual trust."
