“This is about the ideas we’re advocating”,’ he added.

Trump also sought on Friday to blame Clinton after reports that North Korea had tested a nuclear weapon, arguing it was the fourth such test since the Democrat became secretary of state in 2009 and that she should have ended the nation’s nuclear program before her tenure ended.

“Here is what is important, I now have more endorsements from retired flag officers than any Democrat other than an incumbent president has ever had”, Clinton said.

Talking about his national security plan, the presidential candidate emphasised his strict policy on immigrants entering the U.S.

Asked in the MSNBC interview if he agreed Putin is a better leader, King replied, “I look at it that way”.

During an appearance on Russia Today, a television network funded by the Russian government, Donald Trump said Thursday that it was “pretty unlikely” that the Kremlin is interfering in the 2016 election, though USA intelligence officials have claimed otherwise.

Throughout Pence’s interview at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Thursday, the vice presidential nominee said that Trump and 40th president were similar leaders. “If we got along with Russian Federation, that wouldn’t be so bad, would it?”

Clinton also responded on Twitter, sharing footage of her press conference after the Commander-in-Chief Forum, and making a dig at Trump and the RNC, stating: “Last night Trump chose to talk about his deep admiration and support for Putin”. He let Donald Trump’s lies-including his comment that he never supported the Iraq War-go unquestioned, while continuing to ask the Republican candidate soft, open-ended questions.

During NBC’s presidential forum earlier this week, Trump was asked about his exchanges of compliments with Vladimir Putin. “People say, ‘Oh, Trump’s going to be weak with Putin because Putin is saying nice things about me.’ OK, all right”.

Trump went on to praise Putin’s leadership and pooh-pooh concerns about Putin’s authoritarianism: “I mean, you can say, oh, isn’t that a awful thing-the man has very strong control over a country”.

House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan – the top elected Republican official who has frequently broken with Trump – again took a sharply different view from that of his party’s candidate.

“Putin is an aggressor that does not share our interests”. ‘Vladimir Putin is violating the sovereignty of neighboring countries’.

On Sunday the candidates were expected to put their campaigns on pause as they marked the 15th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks by attending the official commemoration in NY at the World Trade Center site.

Trump’s and Clinton’s intensifying political combat over national security came as Clinton’s lead in opinion polls has slipped in recent days. “I regret saying ‘half” – that was wrong”, Clinton said in a Saturday afternoon statement.
