“Do you think Hillary would be tougher on Putin than I am? Okay, listen, don’t!” - Trump said at a press conference today.
"If Putin likes Donald Trump, I consider that an asset, not a liability. Because our relations with Russia are truly terrible. And Russia can help us fight ISIS—the main threat. This administration ( Obama's, -ed. ) essentially created ISIS by leaving at the wrong time. This vacuum was created, and ISIS was born."
If Putin likes Donald Trump, this is, in fact, an asset, not a liability. I hope that my relationship with Putin will develop well. In any case, we need to give this a chance,” the newly elected US President also said.
At the same time, Trump rejected the version that Russia organized hacker attacks on the United States to interfere in the process of electing a new American president.
