Bill O'Reilly told Newsmax TV on Tuesday that President Donald Trump "wants a deal" with Russian President Vladimir Putin — ultimately one to "de-emphasize nukes in both countries."
"He wants to, basically, lower tensions between the two countries," O'Reilly told Newsmax TV's Monica Crowley in an interview from Ireland. "Wants to get Russia back into the economic flow.
"Get them part of the G-7, so that Russia has a stake and stops all the disruptions.
"Then, he wants a deal to de-emphasize nukes in both countries," O'Reilly said. "It's pretty-much what the end game is."

O'Reilly said that Trump's reference to Hillary Clinton's server during Monday's press conference in Helsinki was to "insinuate that the hackers — the Russian hackers — got into Hillary Clinton's email.
"And, therefore, when Hillary Clinton told the FBI nothing was compromised, and [then-FBI Director James] Comey said nothing was compromised, that was a lie.
"That's a big headline no one has pointed out," O'Reilly told Crowley.
"He wants to see the server — Hillary Clinton's server — to see if there was a hack from the Russians and to see why the FBI didn't look at the server."
Regarding Putin, however, O'Reilly slammed the Kremlin leader as "a liar. Putin's a killer.
"Putin is a villain — and everybody knows he's a villain. Every fair-minded person.
"He's a Russian nationalist — and he's trying to build up Russia, but he's also trying to tear down the United States.
"It's not just about building up Mother Russia, it's about harming the United States and Western Europe.
"That's what he wants to do," O'Reilly told Crowley. "He's a disrupter."
