“You know what’ll say, my victory in the election was the worst thing that has ever happened to Russia,” Trump told a crowd during a campaigning event in North Carolina.
“But at the same time, having good relations with Russia, with China, North Korea, Japan is a good thing, not a bad thing,” he said.
He said that he had a good meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki.
