When the correspondent noticed that Trump did not exclude the opportunity to recognize the annexation, the candidate corrected the journalist: "I intend to consider this issue."
“But you know,” Trump continued, “the inhabitants of the Crimea, as far as I heard, preferred to be with Russia, and not where they were. And you should also consider it.”
"Crimea is won. Do not blame Donald Trump for this," the candidate added.

Meanwhile, Clinton in published Sunday interview noted that Trump "demonstrates the frightening willingness to support Putin." The interlocutor considers the clarifying question of the journalist that Putin is interested in the victory of Trump in the elections, the Democrats candidate replied that she did not mean this. “But I think,” she added, “that the totality of facts makes us seriously think about the influence of Russia on our elections, on our democracy.”
The United States, Clinton noticed, would not suffer such a single country - all the more unfriendly.
“I think that the indulgence of this from Trump, like his praise Putin, with obvious intentional efforts to influence our elections, affect national security issues,” the presidential candidate concluded.
