Trump rebuffs Putin offer to mediate Iran-Israel truce

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump appeared Wednesday to rebuff Vladimir Putin’s offer to mediate in the Israel-Iran conflict, saying the Russian president should end his own war in Ukraine first. “I spoke to him yesterday and... he actually offered to help mediate, I said ‘do me a favor, mediate your own,’” Trump told reporters as he unveiled a giant new flag pole at the White House. “Let’s mediate Russia first, okay? I said, Vladimir, let’s mediate Russia first, you can worry about this later.” But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov disputed the timing that Trump gave for the call.
