Trump touts mutual respect with Putin ahead of summit

US President Donald Trump says he and Vladimir Putin share a “good respect level on both sides” as he heads to Alaska for a summit with the Russian leader over Ukraine.

“He’s a smart guy. He’s been doing it for a long time, but so have I… We’re presidents. We get along. There’s a good respect level on both sides,” Trump tells reporters aboard Air Force Once during the flight to Anchorage.
