Reporter: Did Putin try to dissuade you from selling Tomahawk missiles?
President Trump: Of course. What did you expect him to say — “Please sell Tomahawks”? Would he say, “Please sell those Tomahawks, I really appreciate it”? I even joked, “Would you mind if I gave a couple thousand Tomahawks to your opposition?” — I said it exactly like that.
Reporter: And how did he respond?
President Trump: He didn’t like the idea. He really didn’t. I was being a bit lighthearted, but no — he doesn’t want Tomahawks. The Tomahawk is a brutal weapon: offensive, incredibly destructive. Nobody wants Tomahawks fired at them.
