Haley on Trump call with Putin: ‘A backhanded slap to all of our allies’
by Sarah Fortinsky - 06/04/25 3:23 PM ET
Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley (R) sharply criticized President Trump on Wednesday for suggesting Russia could play a mediating role in nuclear negotiations with Iran.
“Russia has been receiving drones and ballistic missiles from Iran to use in its kidnapping of Ukraine,” Haley wrote in a post on the social platform X.
“Iran and Russia are partners,” Haley continued. “It is ludicrous to think we would allow Putin to be chief negotiator between the US and Iran on the Iran deal in exchange for the US helping Russia with Ukraine.”
“That is a backhanded slap to all of our allies,” she added.
Trump spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin for roughly one hour and 15 minutes Wednesday. Trump said in a Truth Social post that they discussed the recent Ukrainian drone attack on Russian bombers, as well as “various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides.”
