Putin offered help on Iran issue: Trump

US President Donald Trump has claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin called him and asked if he needed help on the Iran-Israel issue. Trump did not provide any details about the timing or context of the conversation. US media outlet CNN News reported this information in a report on Wednesday (June 25).

Trump said that Putin called me and said, ‘Donald! What’s wrong with the Iran-Israel issue? Need help?’ He mentioned Iran-Israel tensions and the good relationship he had with Putin during his presidency.

There has been no response from Russia to confirm the authenticity of the claim. Political observers also see the statement as part of Trump’s election campaign, where he wants to present himself as a successful leader in foreign affairs.
