"It's a very tough situation that they're in and it's a very tough situation that we've been placed in, the United States. With all of that being said, we're working through it, we'll see what happens. But it's not really fair."'Not fair'"Because of the fact he bought a Russian missile, we're not allowed to sell him billions of dollars worth of aircraft. It's not a fair situation," Trump continued.
