He continued, "In fact, Putin told me on the phone, he said, ‘Boy, that was amazing,’ because everybody tried to get that done, and they couldn't. I got it done. You had others.

It comes from China, and we'll be talking a lot about that. We'll be talking about a lot things. I think we have a really good chance of making a very comprehensive deal."
