A new phone call between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin could happen “potentially as soon as today,” Politico reports.
“One plugged-in official said they believe a new call may happen either directly before or soon after the weekend.”
But NBC News reports that Trump’s inner circle says no call has been scheduled, and that Trump aides are advising the president not to hold a call until Putin agrees to a ceasefire in Ukraine.
