Trump: When Putin offered to help with Iran, I told him to focus on Russia

The American leader said this during a press conference at the NATO summit.

“He (Putin – ed.) called, and I said: ‘You have to help me with Russia.’ After all, he’s involving Pakistan, India, Kosovo, Serbia. And on Friday, when Congo came up, Rwanda, there’s a fierce war there, which, as we know, has spread across Africa. You know, I think no one has handled such conflicts better than America,” he said.

Donald Trump also noted that when the Russian ruler Vladimir Putin offered to help him with Iran, the American president told him to focus on Russia. Trump believes that Putin will do just that.

“I was actually surprised. Because, well, he called, but he called, and he said he’s close to Iran, he wants to help us, and I said: ‘No, no, we’ll handle it ourselves.’ I said: ‘You’d better mediate Russia first.’ I think that’s exactly what he’ll be doing,” he believes.
