President Trump On Hillary Clinton: “I May Have To Start Liking Her Again”


President Trump made a rare compliment to Hillary Clinton.

While speaking to a Fox News reporter, President Trump jokingly shared he may have to start liking Hillary Clinton again.

Trump’s comment was made after Clinton shared she would nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he were to broker a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.

Fox News provided more on Trump’s comments on Hillary Clinton:

Trump spoke while flying on Air Force One toward Anchorage, Alaska, where he and his team met with the Russian delegation in the first face-to-face meeting with Putin of the new administration.

Trump said that he would not be negotiating peace on Ukraine’s behalf, but would rather “set the table” for negotiations between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

“Well, look, it’s not for me to negotiate a deal for Ukraine, but I can certainly set the table to negotiate the deal,” he said. “Our next meeting will have President Zelenskyy and President Putin and probably me.”

Trump also added that he “may have to start liking” Hillary Clinton, after the former Democratic presidential candidate said she would nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he negotiated a peace deal and did not “capitulate” to Russia.

“That was very nice. I may have to start liking her again,” Trump said.

The Hill reported more on Hillary’s surprising statement:

As President Trump meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the hopes of ending the war in Ukraine, his long-held dream of nabbing a Nobel Peace Prize has an unlikely supporter: former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
In a recent podcast appearance, Clinton said she would support Trump for the coveted prize if he were able to negotiate an end to the more than three-year war that sufficiently repudiates Putin and his claims to Ukrainian territory.

“If he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor, had to, in a way, validate Putin’s vision of greater Russia, but instead could really stand up to Putin, to make it clear there must be a ceasefire,” she told “Raging Moderates” co-host Jessica Tarlov.

“If President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize,” the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee added.

Trump has increasingly campaigned to receive the prize — which was awarded to then-President Obama in 2009 — for his work in a variety of conflicts, including facilitating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan in May. He also reportedly called the prime minister of Norway last month to ask about his nomination, Norwegian press reported.
