Trump says Putin is a ‘competitor,’ not an ‘enemy’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump says that he sees his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin as a “competitor” but not an “enemy,” days before they meet in Helsinki on Monday.
“He’s not my enemy… ultimately he’s a competitor, he’s representing Russia, I’m representing the United States,” Trump tells reporters at a NATO summit.
Trump says his sit-down with Putin will be “just a loose meeting,” but says significant progress could be made in the relationship.
