Asked if he thought Russian President Vladimir Putin was supporting Iran after the American strikes on the country, Trump told Fox News Radio: "I think he's probably helping them a little bit, yeah, probably. And he probably thinks we're helping Ukraine, right?"
"Yes, we are helping (Ukraine) too," Trump continued. "And so (Putin) says that, and China would say the same thing. You know, it's like: they do this, and we do this. Fairly, they do this, and we do this."
