Trump claimed ignorance about the import of Russian uranium and fertilizers

US President Donald Trump said on August 5 that he had no information about the import of Russian uranium and fertilizers.

"I don't know anything about it. I'll need to check, and we'll get back to that [issue]," Trump told reporters.

This response was received after a media employee asked him to comment on statements by the Indian Foreign Ministry that the United States continues to purchase uranium and fertilizers from Russia, while threatening other countries with trade duties for the import and resale of Russian oil.
