Russian President Vladimir Putin's press secretary dismissed claims of Donald Trump's incompetence as "delusional trash," saying Putin had a "pleasant" meeting with his US counterpart at the G20 summit in Hamburg.

Putin’s Spox after ‘Win-Win’ G20 Talks: Trump ‘Knowledgeable’, ‘Skillful Negotiator’

"I can say with certainty that Putin was pleased after the meeting. And while I don't personally know Donald Trump, my impression was that he was satisfied as well," said Dmitry Peskov, who pointed out that he wasn't personally present at the two-hour talks, but was later fully briefed by the Russian leader.

Putin's spokesman also launched a broadside at Trump's portrayal in the "hysterical" mainstream media.

"Accusations that Trump is somewhat incompetent or that he is a novice, can be classified as delusional trash," Peskov told the Russia 1 news channel. "Trump is not some simpleton. He has expert knowledge, he is a very determined negotiator and skillful at using his knowledge to put his position across."

Peskov said it was "absurd" to discuss who "won" the talks in Germany, where Russia and the US agreed to a ceasefire in three zones in Syria. Putin and Trump also discussed Ukraine, cybercrime, and, of course, allegations of Russia's meddling in last year's US presidential election.

"We can now confidently declare that this was a win-win encounter," said Peskov.
