Putin is a ‘competitor’, not an ‘enemy’: Trump

BRUSSELS, July 12, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – US President Donald Trump said
Thursday that he sees his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin as a
“competitor” but not an “enemy”, days before they meet for a high-stakes
summit.

“He’s not my enemy… ultimately he’s a competitor, he’s representing
Russia, I’m representing the United States,” Trump told reporters at a NATO
summit.
