Washington DC, June 4: U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that he had a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin that lasted about one hour and 15 minutes. They talked after a recent drone attack by Ukriane on Russian airplanes which were parked at their strategic airbases. There are reports that Ukraine destroyed around 40 Russian bombers in the attack. They also talked about other attacks happening from both sides.
Trump said that the conversation was good, but it didn’t lead to any quick peace agreement. President Putin said that he will respond strongly to the attack on Russian airfields.
They also discussed Iran and its possible plans to develop nuclear weapons. Trump said time is running out for Iran to make a decision and it needs to happen soon. He told Putin that Iran must not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and he believes they both agreed on this point.
Putin said he might help in talks with Iran and could help bring the situation to a quick end. Trump said that he thinks Iran has been delaying its decision, but it’s a very serious issue and a final answer is needed soon.
Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account and shared the details of the conversation. He said, "I just finished speaking, by telephone, with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia. The call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes. We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace."
He further added, "President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields. We also discussed Iran, and the fact that time is running out on Iran’s decision pertaining to nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly! I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement. President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion. It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!"
