Kremlin claims Trump sent Covid testing machines to Putin

Former President Donald Trump sent coronavirus testing devices to Russian President Vladimir Putin at the height of the pandemic, the Kremlin said in a statement Wednesday.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Bloomberg News in a written statement that we also sent materials at the start of the pandemic. The Kremlin did not respond to NBC News' request for comment.

The story was originally reported in War, a new book by veteran Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward that reports on Trump and President Joe Biden's relationships with foreign leaders.

The book claims Trump secretly sent Abbott Covid-19 testing devices to Putin when machines were in short supply. NBC News has not been able to independently verify this.

Peskov also denied Woodward's claim that Trump and Putin have spoken on the phone several times since Trump left office. No, that's not true, he told Russian media RBC.

Trump also denied these reports in an interview with ABC News' Jonathan Karl. He's a storyteller. A bad one. And he lost his mind, Trump said of Woodward.

In a separate statement to Bloomberg, Trump's re-election team accused the reporter of bias and said none of these stories made up by Bob Woodward were true.

The book, set to be released Oct. 15, raises questions about how Trump would handle the war in Ukraine if re-elected and whether he would continue providing aid to the country.

Trump has repeatedly said he could resolve the war between Russia and Ukraine in a day if he is re-elected president. But when asked in July about the claim, Russia's ambassador to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, told reporters that the Ukrainian crisis could not be resolved in a day.

The Republican candidate said last month that his relations with Putin were very good. He said the same thing about his ties to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy when the two men met at Trump Tower last month.

As a private citizen, Trump would need express authorization from sitting presidents to negotiate on behalf of the US government.

Woodward says in the book that senior adviser Jason Miller told him in July that he was not aware of any conversations between Trump and Putin, but that if they wanted to talk, they would know how to contact each other.

Trump's critics have long challenged his intimacy with authoritarian leaders, including Putin. Trump called Putin very wise and a strong man, and praised Russia's invasion of Ukraine as genius.
