Trump praises 'very smart' Putin for holding off on reprisals against US

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump Friday praised Russian President Vladimir Putin for not reacting immediately to Washington's move to punish it over alleged election-related interference.


"Great move on delay (by V. Putin) – I always knew he was very smart!" Trump tweeted.

Earlier, the Russian leader ruled out any immediate tit-for-tat expulsions of American officials in the row over what Washington says were "efforts to harm U.S. interests" in connection with the November 8 election won by the Republican.
