Republican Donald Trump, a participant in the US presidential race, said that the compliments made to him by Vladimir Putin would not play a decisive role in establishing relations between Moscow and Washington, if he heads the White House.

“I think I will have a good relationship with Russia, but maybe not,” Trump said in an interview with Reuters about his views on foreign policy.

“Putin spoke very well about me, and that’s not bad, that’s very good. But the fact that he spoke well of me will not help him in negotiations [with the US]. It won't help at all. It will become clear very soon whether I will have good relations with Russia or not,” Trump added.

Last December, the President of Russia call Donald Trump is the “absolute leader” of the American presidential race.

“He is a very bright person, talented, without any doubt,” Putin said.

Then American billionaire did return compliment. “He runs his country, and at least he is a real leader, not like we have now,” he told a CNN journalist about Putin.

In an interview with Reuters, Trump also said that he does not approve of the Russian president's policies in eastern Ukraine.

“I don’t like it, I don’t like it at all,” he said.

"Macho Craving"

In the same interview, Trump expressed willingness to negotiate with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

“I would talk to him, I don’t have a problem with it,” the billionaire said. At the same time, he refused to provide details of any plan for a political settlement of the situation with the DPRK.

In addition, Trump announced its readiness to exert strong pressure on China. From an economic point of view, the United States has influence over China, he said.

Trump's most likely competitor in the presidential election, the leader of the Democratic race, Hillary Clinton, expressed bewilderment at his “strange admiration for foreign machos.”

A statement released by her office said Trump's proposed foreign policy doctrine "simply makes no sense."

In early May, Trump's last Republican rivals, Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Ohio Governor John Kasich, dropped out of the presidential race.

Donald Trump is now the only candidate for the right to become a Republican presidential candidate.

Insults to the side?

In addition, it is expected that before the November elections in the US, Trump will visit the UK. British diplomats believe that the visit will take place after he becomes the official Republican candidate for the presidency.

More recently, Donald Trump warned that if he became US president, he would not have a “very good relationship” with British Prime Minister David Cameron.

In an interview with the British television channel ITV's Good Morning Britain, Trump responded to Cameron's remarks, which called him "stupid, divisive and inadequate" after he floated the idea of ​​​​banning Muslims from entering the United States.

Trump also said that he was offended by the new mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, who called him ignorant.
