The Truth About Trump and Putin's Big Phone Call
About this episode
US President Trump and Russian President Putin held their direct call - the one that was supposed to see Trump pushing Putin into embracing a 30-day ceasefire in the Ukraine war. The outcome seemed not to be much in doubt - it was pretty well known that Putin was not planning to cede to such demands. The only question was whether he could play Trump so well as not to lose his support and have him come out of the call in a rage. On that grounds, the victory seems hands-down one for President Putin. Indeed - when the European leaders heard Trump's account of the call, insiders have leaked that they were stunned with shock. Let's discuss what it means, and what happens next.
