Putin: U.S. Poses No Threat to Russia But Its Policies Are Harmful

LAURA — Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday he did not think the U.S. was a threat to Russia but added that he thought Washington's policies were harmful to his country.

"I don't think that the United States poses a threat to us," Putin told a meeting of political scholars.
