The US president refuted media reports alleging that he had mentioned Israel in the recent talks with Russian diplomats.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — US President Donald Trump said Monday that he never mentioned Israel during the meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador to the United States Sergei Kislyak on May 10, despite media allegations that Israel was the source of sensitive information about terror threats that Trump had given to the officials.

"I never mentioned the word or the name Israel. Never mentioned during that conversation," Trump told reporters before the meeting with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as televised by the C-SPAN broadcaster.
