Donald Trump said he’ll follow laws on torture, but that as president, he'll push for them to be stronger.

“I will obey the laws, but I will try and get the laws extended. I will try and get the laws broadened,” Trump said during a press conference in West Palm Beach, Florida Saturday. “It’s very hard to be successful in beating someone when your rules are very soft and their rules are unlimited.”

Trump was pressed at this week's debate about his aggressive positions on torture, specifically waterboarding, which conflict with international law. When asked during the debate about making the military obey orders of illegal interrogation methods, Trump responded: “If I say do it, they’re going to do it.”

On Friday his campaign issued a reversal, saying that while he supported harsh interrogation processes, he would remain within the law.

Asked about the issue on Saturday night, Trump said, “Just so you understand we’re playing by a different set of rules than ISIS and others, especially in the Middle East,” he said. He added that the Islamic State has “nothing” in terms of laws.

In a pre-released clip from CBS’ “Face the Nation" that will air on Sunday, Trump again bemoaned the uneven playing field. “I would like to strengthen the laws so that we can better compete. You know it’s very tough to beat enemies that don’t have any restrictions alright? We have these massive restrictions. Now, I will always abide by the law but I would like to have the law expanded,” Trump said.

When asked if he’d support waterboarding being allowed, Trump said “I would certainly like it to be."
