• Trump respects people who are selfish about their country. Putin is a guy who is very selfish about Russia and about the Russian federation, and he understands the history of his country. You can't say, "I don't like you." You've got to respect him. He's a world leader.

But there is a country that is, obviously, the world leader in gas reserves. That's our country, the Russian Federation.
