Putin wants a second term from “predictable” Biden as US President. The second duel between Biden and Trump will probably take place in the fall.

Putin also criticized German politics in the interview, especially Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. It is difficult to imagine that a politician "of this rank would be so contemptuous of the economic interests of her country and her people," Putin said of the Green politician. The Russian president also commented on Biden's old age; the US President is 81.
