Details: Putin believes there is currently "some fuss" between Trump and Europe’s political elites. He said "nothing has changed" since the Biden administration, claiming that European politicians "were happy to follow any orders from Washington".
Putin said European politicians had "fought" against Trump and interfered in US domestic politics. He suggested that they were disoriented by Trump's victory, as they had been "mentally more comfortable" with Biden because Trump has "different views on what’s right and what’s wrong".
Quote: "But I assure you, Trump, with his character and his determination, will restore order there pretty quickly. And all of them – mark my words, this will happen soon – will stand at their master’s feet and wag their tails obediently. Everything will fall into place."
