Pence Dodges on If Putin Is a Friend or Foe

RUSH EXCERPT:

BAIER: "Is Vladimir Putin a friend or a foe?
PENCE: "The president made it clear that we have competing interests with Russia, but it doesn’t change the fact, whether it be Syria or Russia’s involvement on behalf of the regime where our military forces have bravely been in the process of destroying ISIS at its source, we need to find a way to work in common cause for a long-term solution in Syria. We have the issues in Ukraine. Other issues that exist between our countries. President Trump said many times he always believes in talking and he believes in sitting down with leaders and determining whether there is a way that we can make progress in the relationship and I think he goes into the summit very much in that spirit."
