Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Wednesday favoured having friendly, if not a strong, relationship with Russia to defeat the dreaded ISIS militant group but said that he would not compromise on America's national security in this partnership.
At the same time, Trump at an impromptu news conference in Miami, Florida said that he would not compromise on American national security, but would go along well with the Russian President Vladimir Putin and other global leaders.
“I would treat Vladimir Putin firmly but there's nothing that I can think of that I'd rather do than have Russia friendly as opposed to the way they are right now so that we can go and knock out ISIS together with other people and with other countries,” he said.
