The covid tests that the then US President Donald Trump sent to the Russian President Vladimir Putin came as part of an international cooperation at the beginning of the corona pandemic, the Kremlin announced on Thursday.

The first tests did not work well and initially there was not enough equipment. All countries tried to exchange with each other, says the Kremlin's spokesperson Dmitrij Peskov on Thursday.

According to Peskov, the USA sent a batch of tests to Russia and Russia sent equipment to the USA at the beginning of the pandemic.

The information that Trump sent covid tests despite the shortage of tests in the USA during the pandemic came from journalist Bob Woodward's book "War".

In the book, it is also stated that the two talked on the phone several times after Trump's presidential term was over, information that is denied by Peskov.
