Russian Parliament Speaker Says Hopes for Better Ties with US
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The speaker of Russia's lower house of parliament said Wednesday Moscow hoped for more constructive dialogue with the United States now that a new president had been elected.
Vyacheslav Volodin, speaker of the State Duma and a close ally of President Vladimir Putin, said parliament would welcome any steps in these directions, Reuters reported.
His comments came after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump clobbered his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the race to the White House.
