Russian President Vladimir Putin has humorously claimed he prefers Kamala Harris to win the U.S. presidential election. Speaking at the Eastern Economic Forum, Putin remarked that Harris' "infectious" laugh made her Russia's preferred candidate over Donald Trump. Despite his ironic tone, Putin's comments come amid tense U.S.-Russia relations, with fresh sanctions imposed by the Biden administration against Kremlin-run websites and media employees. Earlier, Putin dismissed Ukraine’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk region. These remarks further illustrate the ongoing geopolitical chess game between the U.S. and Russia as the U.S. election approaches.
