*Readout of President Donald J. Trumps Call with President Vladimir Putin
*
President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia called President Donald J. Trump today to thank him for the advanced warning the United States intelligence agencies provided to Russia concerning a major terror plot in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Based on the information the United States provided, Russian authorities were able to capture the terrorists just prior to an attack that could have killed large numbers of people. No Russian lives were lost and the terrorist attackers were caught and are now incarcerated. President Trump appreciated the call and told President Putin that he and the entire United States intelligence community were pleased to have helped save so many lives. President Trump stressed the importance of intelligence cooperation to defeat terrorists wherever they may be. Both leaders agreed that this serves as an example of the positive things that can occur when our countries work together. President Putin extended his thanks and congratulations to Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director Mike Pompeo and the CIA. President Trump then called Director Pompeo to congratulate him, his very talented people, and the entire intelligence community on a job well done!
Yes, President Trump relies on his evangelical circle a lot. It includes Jim Bakker too - he’s mentioned it on his show. They have a weekly phone call-in session to the Oval Office, where they all pray over topics of concern. Very reassuring but kept quite quiet for obvious reasons.
I am so glad that we have a leader who believes in the power of prayer. May God continue to keep him safe.
