President Donald Trump said he hasn't discussed US intelligence that alleged Russia offered bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US troops in Afghanistan with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a recent telephone call.
Trump, in an interview with Axios that was released on Wednesday, also continued to downplay the validity of the US intelligence and drew a moral equivalency between the possibility that Russia backed efforts to kill US troops and the American campaign to aid anti-Soviet forces in Afghanistan in the 1980s."I have never discussed it with Putin. I would, I have no problem with it," Trump said in a clip of the interview, which is set to air on HBO Monday.
" Asked about Russia supplying weapons to the Taliban, Trump also said,"Well, we supplied weapons when they were fighting Russia, too," adding that he did not ask John Nicholson, commander of US forces in Afghanistan, about the matter. The campaign for Joe Biden, Trump's 2020 rival, called Trump's actions"an indefensible pattern" of him weakening the US"in a manner that no American president ever has before" and"absolutely despicable.
