This was reported in the press service of the White House.

“The President and the Prime Minister discussed common challenges in the field of diplomacy and security, including joint efforts to denuclearize the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea and counteracting the hostile actions of Iran,” RIA Novosti quoted a statement as saying.

Trump also expressed gratitude to the head of the Australian government for the decision to join the US coalition to ensure safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

Earlier, Trump said that he refused to meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Jawad Zarif on the sidelines of the G7, as this would be premature.

Zarif flew into Biarritz on the evening of August 25 and held talks with French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian, as well as French leader Emmanuel Macron.
