[FONT="]The clip is from a 2010 interview Clinton did with First Channel Television, which is partially owned by the Russian government.[/FONT]
[FONT="]“We want very much to have a strong Russia because a strong, confident, prosperous, stable Russia is, we think, in the interests of the world,” Clinton says in the brief clip. [/FONT]
[FONT="]The clip has recently been shared by some pro-Trump figures on Twitter, including actor James Woods.[/FONT]

[FONT="]Clinton was responding to a question about “America’s place in the modern world” when she made the remarks. [/FONT]
[FONT="]“Is it a force aimed at supporting the world’s equilibrium? Or is it a force aimed at changing the status quo?” interviewer Vladimir Pozner asked.[/FONT]
[FONT="]“It’s both in this way, Vladimir. It is a force to sustain an equilibrium that permits countries and individuals to progress, to become more self-realizing,” she replied. “I mean, we want very much to have a strong Russia because a strong, competent, prosperous, stable Russia is, we think, in the interests of the world.”
[/FONT]
[FONT="]“But at the same time, there are countries and places where the status quo is just not acceptable,” she continued. “Last summer, I went to the Democratic Republic of Congo. I went to Eastern Congo where 5.4 million people had been killed in the last 15 years, the greatest death toll since the second world war. We don’t want that status quo to be sustained.”[/FONT]

[FONT="]Then-President Obama made similar remarks about Russia during a [/FONT]2009 speech[FONT="], calling for a “reset” in U.S-Russia relations and saying the world would benefit “from a strong and vibrant Russia.”[/FONT]
