"I said, ‘Vladimir, if you go after Ukraine, I am going to hit you so hard, you’re not even going to believe it. I’m going to hit you right in the middle of fricking Moscow," Donald Trump said, without specifying under what circumstances and when he and Putin had this conversation.
"I said, ‘We’re friends. I don’t want to do it, but I have no choice’," Trump added.
According to Trump, Putin replied: "No way". Trump responded: "Way".
