During a frequently combative interview, Donald Trump avoided directly answering whether he spoke to Putin since leaving office, stating it would be smart to do so.
Trump suggested that maintaining relationships with leaders is a positive approach, saying, "If I'm friendly with people, if I have a relationship with people, that's a good thing, not a bad thing."
When pressed on conversations with Putin, Trump refused to confirm or deny, responding, "I said I don't comment on those things," leaving his remarks ambiguous.
The interview revealed Trump's ongoing reluctance to clarify his relationship with Putin, with Trump instead pivoting to discuss unrelated topics like trade and military spending.
