Putin sends congratulatory message to Trump on the 250th anniversary of American independence: Russia and the U.S. bear a special responsibility for maintaining global security and stability
On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a congratulatory message to U.S. President Donald Trump, stating that Russia and the United States share a unique responsibility for maintaining global security and stability.
In the message, Putin wrote: "Mr. President, dear Donald, on this occasion of the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States of America, please accept my sincere congratulations. The signing of the Declaration of Independence not only marked the founding of your nation but also became a pivotal milestone in world history. At that time, Russia unconditionally supported the North American colonists' struggle against British rule and their pursuit of freedom."
Putin stated: "Over the past two and a half centuries, our bilateral relations have been marked by numerous glorious chapters. We were allies during both World Wars, jointly liberating humanity from the horrors of Nazism, and subsequently played significant roles in laying the foundations of the modern international order. Today, as the two largest nuclear powers, Russia and the United States bear a special responsibility for ensuring global security and stability."
Putin added: "I believe that establishing constructive, equal, and mutually beneficial relations between Moscow and Washington not only serves the interests of our two peoples but also benefits the entire international community."
Finally, Putin wished Trump and his family good health, happiness, and success, and extended warm wishes for prosperity and well-being to all American citizens.
