YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Trump said Wednesday he rejected Russian President Vladimir Putin’s offer to help mediate the Iran-Israel conflict — telling him to focus on brokering an end to the Ukraine war first. “I spoke to Putin yesterday and he actually offered to help mediate,” Trump told reporters on the White House lawn as he erected a large new flagpole. “I said, ‘Do me a favor, mediate your own. Let’s mediate Russia first.’ I said, ‘Vladimir, let’s mediate Russia first. You can worry about this later.’”
