President Donald Trump<\/a> on Friday said he believed that Russian leader Vladimir Putin<\/a> is helping Iran in its war<\/a> against the United States<\/a> and Israel.<\/p>\n

Trump’s comment came in a radio interview with Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, and a week after the president lashed out at a Fox News reporter Peter Doocy who asked him about Russia aiding Iran.<\/p>\n

Kilmeade had asked Trump, “You think Putin is helping them?”<\/p>\n

Trump replied, “I think he might be helping them a bit, yeah.”<\/p>\n

“I guess, and he probably thinks we’re helping Ukraine, right?” Trump continued.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, we’re helping them also,” Trump said, referring to Ukraine, which has been at war against Russia since being invaded in early 2022.<\/p>\n

“So he [Putin] says that, and China would say the same thing, you know,” Trump told Kilmeade.<\/p>\n

“It’s like, ‘Hey, they do it, and we do it, in all fairness,’ ” Trump said. “They do it and we do it.”<\/p>\n
