"I will get the problem solved and I will get it solved in rapid order. And it will take me no longer than one day. I know exactly what to say to each of them. I get along with them."
He went on to highlight just how well he and Russian Premier Vladimir Putin get on, saying: "I get along very well with Putin, even though I'm the one that ended his pipeline. Remember they said 'Trump is giving a lot to Russia!'
"Really? Putin actually said to me 'If you're my friend I'd hate as hell to see you as my enemy'."
He added: "I'm the only candidate who can make this promise. I will very easily prevent World War Three."
