Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump told Reuters in a wide-ranging interview on Tuesday that Vladimir Putin's good things about him will not help him in a negotiation.
Commenting on Russian presence in Ukraine, Trump said: "I don't like it. I don't like it at all," as reported by Reuters.
"Putin made very nice statements about me. Very strong, very nice statements. I think that's not a bad thing, that's a good thing," he said about Russian President Vladimir Putin.

And the fact that he's said good things about me doesn't mean that, you know, it's going to help him in a negotiation. It won't help him at all. And I'll know pretty soon in whether or not I'll have a good relationship with Russia. But wouldn't it be wonderful if we actually did have a good relationship with foreign countries as opposed to the way they're treating us now?" Trump said.
