2h...Gassed up and ready to embark on Pres Trump's 6th foreign trip, a nearly 10,000-mile journey with stops in Brussels, London, Scotland and Helsinki.

Mark Knoller...2h...In exchange with press on leaving WH, Pres Trump said he can't say if Putin is a friend or foe. Calls him a competitor. But says getting along with Russia and China is not a bad thing. Will see how his Putin meeting goes on Monday.

Pres says his meeting with Putin might be the easiest talks on his schedule this trip compared with @NATO allies and British PM @theresa_may.

Mark...Despite his differences with @NATO allies over defense spending, Pres Trump says he expects he and the allies will work it out.

2h...On illegal immigration, Pres Trump calls it a disgrace that some people are calling for the elimination of @ICEgov. Says Americans ought to support ICE, not calling for its abolition as some Democrats are doing.

Before leaving WH, Pres Trump said his Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh is "getting rave reviews...actually from both sides," though some Dems were quick to announce their opposition. Says he thinks Kavanaugh's confirmation will be "a beautiful thing to watch."

Pres and Mrs Trump walk hand-in-hand to Marine One for flight to @Andrews_JBA.

Marine One wheels up from the WH as Pres and Mrs Trump embark on their European trip.

2h...Air Force One wheels up from @Andrews_JBA. 7 hour flight to Brussels.
