The U.S. president made a controversial statement.

US President Donald Trump believes that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will not joke with him during a face-to-face meeting.

The American leader said this while speaking to reporters.

Trump was asked if Putin had prepared a "strong position" for tomorrow's meeting.

In response, the president said he thought the Kremlin chief would want to make a deal.

"I think if I wasn't president, he would take over all of Ukraine, it's a war that should never have happened. If I wasn't president, in my opinion, he would be much more willing to take over all of Ukraine, but I'm the president and he's not going to mess with me," Trump assured.
