"It is good to get along with people who have powerful nuclear weapons. You know, it's good to get along with people like Putin. I had talks with President Xi (of China) and have excellent relations with them. If Hillary Clinton had won, you would have had a nuclear war with North Korean Kim Jong Un. I also got along with him," Trump said in the Fox interview.
According to him, if he had remained the US president, Putin "would never have attacked Ukraine." "They were all afraid of Trump, but they respected him. That is true," added the former president.
