Will vs would
I have heard both of the sentences from trump in the same context. One with would and one with will. Whats the difference in meaning between them?
A. If I am elected, I will have a good relationship with Russia.
B. I would have a good relationship.
We all know that the election is happening in November. I have got two questions below.
1. Does the first sentence just show confidence? Meaning will is just used in the semtence to show confidence?
2. Is the second sentence future conditional II that has implied if clause?

I don't know if he is going to get elected so that's why I am saying 'if he were elected'. I think it's conditional II ,not a mixed conditional we use to refer to the future. What do you think?
