Putin wants to visit US, pending Trump invite

Russian President Vladimir Putin says he would be willing to visit the United States if President-elect Donald Trump sent him an invitation.

Putin told Russian news agencies after his three and a half hour press conference Friday that "if Trump invites (me) to visit the U.S., I will definitely come."

Earlier in the marathon news conference, Putin said his meeting with Trump could happen after the U.S. president-elect has built his administration.

The Russian leader says he agrees with Trump's assessment of the poor U.S.-Russian relations, adding that they "can't be worse."

By all means, President Putin, come on over. Our two countries can do more together than separately. And there maybe one year in the future that we'll have to unite to fight off a common foe.

The Crimean War was a military conflict fought from October 1853 to March 1856 in which the Russian Empire lost to an alliance of France, Britain, the Ottoman Empire, and Sardinia. The immediate cause involved the rights of Christian minorities in the Holy Land, which was a part of the Ottoman Empire.
