United States President Donald Trump interrupted the meeting with European leaders to call his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, Bild reported on Monday.
Trump is currently hosting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, French leader Emmanuel Macron, Italian head of government Giorgia Meloni, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary-General Mark Rutte, European Commission chair Ursula von der Leyen, and Finnish head of state Alexander Stubb at the White House to update them on his summit with Putin in Alaska.
Their talks will reportedly resume after Trump's call. Previously, it was said that he will call Putin after the meeting with the Europeans is over.

It almost sounds as if Trump is working toward a mutually acceptable deal.
There are Russian strategic bombers airborne and en route to their launch lines right now for a mass cruise missile attack on Ukraine tonight.
It's always refreshing when mucusmaxillary chimes in with his Zelenskiy gaslight propaganda.
The source of this is Bild-Zeitung. According to Wikipedia:
Bild has been described as “notorious for its mix of gossip, inflammatory language, and sensationalism”
In other words, just the kind of source Democrats love.
Bwa-haha! đđđđ
Reuters is reporting it as well. There’s a paywall, but you can see the headline.
I'm not sure what you mean...? Honest question.
I support Ukraine, but absolutely hope and pray for a genuine peace deal.
So to clarify:
"Nach Informationen von BILD-Reporter Paul Ronzheimer hat US-Präsident Donald Trump (79) die Gespräche mit den Europäern unterbrochen â fĂźr ein Telefonat mit Kreml-Herrscher Wladimir Putin!"Gosh, there was a break and a telephone call. And the information about the call? Read out? Contents? Nichts. Nada. Zip.Trump ruft Putin an Nach exklusiven BILD-Informationenâ BILD, 18.08.2025.
Exciting, isn't it! Complete with exclamation points.
Why does his posts upset you?

Never a dull moment with Trump. I wonder if Trump has Putin’s personal phone number on speed dial?
It may just mean things are running late, or .... not. The call had been scheduled for after the discussion. Of course we don't know. But it is probably as salient as the endless attention to Zelensky's clothes, lol.
IF true, no surprise.
Trump is a deal maker.
First proposal has room to move.
Got make those who you are dictating to feel like they got a good deal.

I think that was the stated purpose of these meetings.
So you didn’t recognize the sarcasm?
It’s past midnight in Moscow. Maybe Putin won’t answer the phone.

Well, Ukraine has laid down their arms, so....

Nothing is holding Zelensky back from launching a counter attack.
