Kremlin slams media reports about Trump sharing secret information with Lavrov


Russian Politics & Diplomacy
May 16, 14:33 UTC+3

Earlier, the Washington Post said Trump might have shared classified information about the IS with Russian diplomats during Lavrov's visit to Washington

SOCHI, May 16. /TASS/. Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov has dismissed as "utter nonsense" media rumors US President Donald Trump had shared some classified information about the sources of information about the situation in Syria with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov

"This is not a theme for us. It’s nonsense," Peskov told the media.

"We do not want to have anything to do with this nonsense. This is utter nonsense. It is not something to either confirm or deny," Peskov said.

Earlier, the Washington Post said Trump might have shared with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and ambassador in Washington Sergey Kislyak some absolutely classified information about the terrorist group Islamic State (outlawed in Russia) during talks in the White House last week.

MOSCOW, May 16. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump has said that as head of state he had the absolute right to share information with Russia. He added that the information would facilitate the fight against terrorism, particularly with the Islamic State terror group (outlawed in Russia).

"As President I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety," Trump wrote on Twitter. "Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS and terrorism," the US president added.

By this tweet, Trump commented on media reports accusing him of revealing classified information at his recent meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador to the US Sergei Kislyak.

The Washington Post said earlier that "President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former US officials, who said Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State."
