United States President Trump has revealed that the subject of alleged Russian bounties on coalition forces in Afghanistan did not come up during a recent phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Axios reports that Trump did not raise the reported intelligence about a Russian military unit offering cash to Taliban-linked militants to kill US and coalition forces.
"No, that was a phone call to discuss other things," Trump told Axios on HBO.
He told journalist Jonathan Swan: "I have never discussed it with him."
