Putin Called To Help With Iran. I Said…”: Donald Trump Snapped At Russian Leader

New Delhi:

Donald Trump – intent on brokering at least one peace deal between warring nations – declared Tuesday he turned down Vladimir Putin‘s offer of help with the Iran-Israel conflict, instead reminding the Russian President he needs his help to bring the war in Ukraine to an end.

Trump, interacting with reporter aboard Air Force One en route to a NATO summit in the Netherlands, claimed Putin called him and asked, “Can I help you with Iran?” The United States President said he shot back, “No, I don’t need help with Iran. I need help with you.”

And indeed he didn’t.

A reality TV star-turned-politician, Trump has been front-and-centre in ceasefire talks to end Tel Aviv and Tehran’s 12-day conflict, which at times threatened to spiral out of control and trigger an all-out war in West Asia, to add to the three years of death and destruction in Ukraine.
