Trump on Putin Call: I ‘Congratulated Him on His Electoral Victory’

‘I had a call with President Putin and congratulated him... on his electoral victory’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “I had a call with President Putin and congratulated him on his electoral victory. The call had also to do with the fact that we will probably get together in the not-too-distant future so that we can discuss arms, we can discuss the arms race. As you know, he made a statement that being in an arms race is not a great thing, and it was right after the election, one of the first statements he made, and we are spending $700 billion this year on our military, and a lot of it is that we are going to remain stronger than any other nation in the world by far. We had a very good call and I suspect that we’ll probably be meeting in the not-too-distant future to discuss the arms race, which is getting out of control, but we will never allow anybody to have anything even close to what we have."
