“This was the first call between Trump and Putin since the beginning of the war with Iran.

Russia is a key ally of Iran and U.S. officials are concerned it is helping the Iranians in their war effort.

Trump downplayed that scenario, but White House envoy Steve Witkoff told reporters on Saturday that he has communicated to Russian officials that they shouldn’t share any intelligence with Iran.”

‘He wants to be very constructive.’
