Trump told reporters in Brussels after the end of the NATO summit on Thursday that the "ultimate" deal the U.S. could reach with Putin would be for the end of nuclear weapons programs worldwide.

“What would be the ultimate? Let’s see. No more nuclear weapons anywhere in the world, no more wars, no more problems, no more conflicts. ... That would be my ultimate," Trump said, according to Reuters.

Trump has said on multiple occasions that better relations with Russia, despite meddling in the 2016 presidential elections, would ultimately be better for both countries.

Trump during the news conference also said he would raise election meddling with the Russian leader called Putin a “competitor,” adding that “he’s not my enemy.”

“Is he a friend? No, I don't know him well enough. But the couple of times that I've gotten to meet him, we got along well... I hope we get along well.”

“I think I could have a very good relationship with President Putin,” Trump said in April. “There is also a great possibility that that won’t happen. Who knows, OK?”

“I think we’ll be able to have great dialogue, I hope,” the president said. “Remember this — getting along with Russia is a good thing.”
