Vladimir Putin has warned that Russia-US relations have deteriorated since Donald Trump took office in the wake of the America's missile strike in Syria.
The Russian President addressed the 'level of trust' between Moscow and Washington in an interview transcript released by Kremlin officials.
His statement came as Moscow delivered an unusually hostile reception to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in a face-off over Syria, accusing Washington of using 'primitive and loutish rhetoric'.
Any hope in Russia that the Trump administration would herald less confrontational relations has been dashed in the past week after the new U.S. leader fired missiles at Syria to punish Moscow's ally for its suspected use of poison gas.
