However, he also asserted that he believes the U.S. should try to get along with Russia, stating, “[Getting along with Russia] is a good thing, not a bad thing.”
“We’ll find out whether or not we do. If we could all get along, that would be great, and that includes China and includes many other countries. But we will see what happens. Only time will tell,” he said. “Pretty much everybody agrees to that, except very stupid people.”
