Trump Holds 75-Minute Call With Putin: ‘Not A Conversation That Will Lead To Immediate Peace’ | Eastern NC Now

    President Donald Trump revealed that he had an hour-and-fifteen-minute phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, but said that the discussion was not one "that will lead to immediate peace."

    Trump said the two leaders discussed Ukraine's recent drone attack on Russia, which reportedly decimated Russia's fleet of bombers that are capable of carrying nuclear payloads. The president said that Putin "strongly" told him that Russia "will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields."

    "I just finished speaking, by telephone, with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia. The call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "We discussed the attack on Russia's docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace."

    On the Iran front, however, Trump said he came to an "agreement" with Putin, reiterating "that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon." Iran and Russia - two nations that are outspoken in their rejection of Western values - have grown close in their economic and military ties, with Iran reportedly sending Russia hundreds of surface-to-surface ballistic missiles last year.

    "President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion," Trump added. "It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!"


    Russia and Ukraine have taken turns escalating the three-year-long war in recent weeks as the Trump administration continues to push the countries toward a peace deal. Trump last spoke to Putin on May 19 and said that Russia and Ukraine would "immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War." But as Russia's aggression continued, Trump said a week later that he was "absolutely" considering imposing new sanctions on the country. He also blasted Putin as "CRAZY," saying that he was "needlessly killing a lot of people."

    Trump then warned that if Putin pushed for taking "ALL of Ukraine," it would "lead to the downfall of Russia."

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
