Putin when asked by President Trump whether he often brought world leaders to a government compound they were touring during their two-day summit.
“Nice, nice place.
Nice place.
I like this place.
I could get used to this.”
“I love that.
That’s great.”
“We made some fantastic trade deals, great for both countries.
We did discuss Iran.
We feel very similar on Iran.
We want that to end.”
“Would the U.S. defend Taiwan if it came to it?”
“I don’t want to say.
I mean, I’m not going to say that.
There’s only one person that knows that.
You know who it is?
Me.
I’m the only person.
That question was asked to me today by President Xi.
I said, I don’t talk about those things.”
“He asked you today?”
“Yeah.”
“He asked you if you would send troops, if you would defend?”
“He asked me if I’d defend them.
I said, I don’t talk about that.”
