Trump offered Putin U.S. assistance in the ongoing investigation into the crash of Saratov Airlines Flight 703, according to a White House readout of the call.<\/p>\n
The flight crashed Sunday near Ramenskoe in Moscow’s suburbs, according to the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations.<\/p>\n
Six crew members and 65 passengers, including a child, were onboard.<\/p>\n
During their call, Putin noted his then-forthcoming visit with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, to which Trump “said that now is the time to work toward an enduring peace agreement”, the White House said.<\/p>\n
But the American president’s recent decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, despite Palestinian aspirations to have the east of the city as the capital of their long-sought nation, has left Washington ineligible to be the sole mediator in Palestinian-Israeli negotiations, Abbas said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom now on, we refuse to cooperate in any way with the U.S. in its status as a mediator, as we stand against its actions,” said Abbas.<\/p>\n
If any international event takes place in future, Abbas said, Palestine will be insisting to have a new mechanism in which the U.S. will be part of a group of mediators and not the sole mediator.<\/p>\n
Other topics of mutual concern were discussed during the Putin-Trump call, including North Korea, according to the White House.<\/p>\nError, group does not exist! Check your syntax!
