Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Americans must stop their \u201chysteria\u201d about an alleged Russian deal with US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is simply some kind of hysteria. You can\u2019t seem to stop. Do we need to give you a tablet?\u201d he said in a debate at the St Petersburg Economic Forum.<\/p>\n

A US journalist had asked him if Russia had reached a secret deal with Mr Trump to soften US sanctions on Russia.<\/p>\n

Mr Putin again denied Russian meddling in the election that Mr Trump won.<\/p>\n

The allegations of Russian interference in the presidential election were \u201charmful chatter\u201d detrimental to international relations, security and the fight against terrorism, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an attempt to resolve domestic political issues by using foreign policy instruments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easier to say \u2018we\u2019re not to blame \u2013 the Russians are to blame, they interfered in our election, and we\u2019re good\u2019. This reminds me of anti-Semitism. The Jews are blamed for everything,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The US intelligence agencies say the hacking of the US Democrats last year bore the hallmarks of Russian state security services.<\/p>\n

President Trump\u2019s campaign aides are currently being investigated over possible collusion with the Russian government.<\/p>\n

Plea to US business<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Putin accused the West of carrying out \u201ccrude and systematic interference in Russian affairs for many years\u201d.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Mr Putin urged US business executives to help improve Russian-US relations, amid continuing Western sanctions.<\/p>\n

He said those relations had hit \u201ctheir lowest point since the Cold War\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to pass the buck back to you \u2013 help us to restore a normal political dialogue,\u201d he said at the forum.<\/p>\n

Besides the US allegations of Russian meddling, tensions have risen during the Ukraine and Syria conflicts.<\/p>\n

Russia remains under US and EU sanctions because of its involvement in the Ukraine conflict and annexation of Crimea.<\/p>\n

Western governments back Sunni Arab and Kurdish groups fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who is backed militarily by Russia and Iran. But Islamic State (IS) jihadists are being targeted by both the West and Russia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI appeal to you and the US side: help the newly-elected president too, and his administration,\u201d Mr Putin told the US business leaders.<\/p>\n

Russian Ambassador to the US Sergei Kislyak is at the centre of US suspicions about Kremlin contacts with the Trump team.<\/p>\n

Mr Putin poured scorn on the allegations. \u201cThey\u2019re talking such drivel\u2026 Our ambassador met someone. What\u2019s an ambassador supposed to do? It\u2019s his job.\u201d<\/p>\n
