In an interview with NBC's Meet The Press, Donald Trump gave his views on a wide-range of topics including the Ukraine war, the possibility of a China invasion of Taiwan, US abortions and interest rates.
Mr Trump expressed appreciation for a remark Putin recently made.
He did not state what kind of legislation he would sign to ban abortion after a certain number of weeks - or if he prefers the issue be solved at the federal level rather than on a state-by-state basis - but he tried to portray himself as a dealmaker who could unite"both sides".He complained US interest rates were too high and indicated if he gets another term in office, he might pressure Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell to loosen monetary policy.
Mr Trump claimed he still believes democracy is the most effective form of government - but added a key caveat. He added:"We need a media that's free and fair. And frankly, if they don't have that, it's very, very hard to straighten out our country."Despite facing four trials, Mr Trump said he's not consumed with visions of prison.
