During an interview with RT Arabic, Sky News and Al Arabiya, an RT journalist asked the president about his view of the situation if President Donald Trump was re-elected for a new term.

They will say: yeah, this is already an element of interference on the part of Russia in the election campaign, ”the head of state said jokingly.
