Trump vague on Israel-Russia crisis, though he indicates he may speak to Putin

Trump declines to answer in any detail a number of questions from reporters about current tensions between Israel and Russia, following the downing last week of a Russian military aircraft by Syrian anti-aircraft fire. Russia has blamed Israel for the incident and promised to supply Syria with S-300 missile defense systems within two weeks.

Trump says he will speak to Russia’s Vladimir Putin if needed, at the appropriate time.
