President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that Moscow’s contributions to Tehran are scant and he hopes they remain so, as he defended his approach to the Ukraine war by saying he aims to keep Russia engaged in peace talks. The remarks came amid accusations that he is paying too little attention to Ukraine while prioritizing Iran. The Wall Street Journal reported that Vladimir Putin proposed a three-way summit with Trump and Xi Jinping, citing a former Russian intelligence officer; a senior US official said Trump has not agreed. The Kremlin said no firm plan exists. Trump also criticized Ukraine’s president and refinery strikes, while Kyiv said Washington restarted intelligence sharing after an interruption. Rising fuel prices tied to the conflict with Iran are pressuring Trump before November congressional elections.
