Trump tells putin he needs help with russia, not Iran

US President Donald Trump briefly spoke before the NATO summit in The Hague about russian leader vladimir putin, with whom he had "talked a lot". Trump said he needed putin's help with russia, not Iran.

This is reported by Bloomberg.

"I’ve spoken to Putin a lot and he was actually very nice. He volunteered on - as you know - Iran. I said, ‘I don’t need help on Iran. I need help on Russia. Okay do us a favor, help us on Russia, not on Iran. But he was very nice," Trump said.

Putin previously offered to mediate when Israel and Iran were firing missiles at each other.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, after the US strikes on Iran, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei sent his foreign minister to moscow to ask russian leader vladimir putin for more russian assistance.

In addition, the former president of the aggressor country, russia, Dmitry Medvedev, said that after the US strikes on Iran, a number of countries were allegedly ready to provide Tehran with nuclear weapons. This caused public outrage from Trump, who called for not using "nuclear rhetoric" so lightly.
