President Donald Trump on Saturday said he will likely meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin during his 12-day trip to Asia.

“I think it’s expected we’ll meet with Putin, yeah,” Trump told reporters, according to a pool report. “We want Putin’s help on North Korea, and we’ll be meeting with a lot of different leaders.”

Asked whether he thinks North Korea will use his trip abroad as an opportunity to demonstrate a missile test, Trump said, “We’ll soon find out. Good luck!”

    “I feel pretty
    Oh, so pretty
    I feel pretty and witty and bright!
    And I pity
    Any girl who isn’t me tonight”

    Isn’t it nice of him to wait until he’s out of the country to start sharing.
