Putin: Trump emphasized Israel’s security during Helsinki summit meeting
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRussian President Vladimir Putin says his US counterpart Donald Trump raised the issue of Israel’s security during their summit meeting in Helsinki.
Trump tells reporters that both of them spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “with regards to the safety of Israel.”
Netanyahu in recent months has aggressively lobbied leaders around the world, particularly Putin, to act in order to prevent Iranian entrenchment in Syria.
Trump was asked if any specific agreements were reached between him and Putin on the issue, but the US president dodges the question.
