CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin told President Bush on Monday that Russian oil companies were boosting production as well as exports and would continue to do so.
"President Putin noted Russian oil companies are increasing production and exports and will continue to do so," White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters at the president's Texas ranch.
Putin and Bush also discussed the importance of keeping Iran from developing nuclear weapons, and they talked about the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, McClellan said.
"They agreed on the need to work together to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapons capability," he said.
