In a written comment to Bloomberg, the Kremlin's spokesperson Dmitrij Peskov confirms that the tests in question changed hands. However, Peskov denies reports of phone calls between the two leaders.

The information about COVID-19 tests and phone calls between Trump and Putin comes from journalist Bob Woodward's upcoming book "War" and was made public on Tuesday. Trump's spokesperson then claimed that the allegations in the book are completely unfounded.

Trump's rival in the November election, Kamala Harris, accuses Trump, following the information, of caring more about Putin than about the average American.

Do you remember how many people didn't have tests and struggled to get them? He (Trump) thinks Vladimir Putin is his friend. The American people, then? They should come first, says Harris in an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on CBS.
