President-elect Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, the first phone conversation between the two men since Trump won the election, said several people familiar with the matter.

During the call, which Trump took from his resort in Florida, he advised the Russian president not to escalate the war in Ukraine and reminded him of Washington’s sizable military presence in Europe, said a person familiar with the call, who, like others interviewed for this story, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter.

The two men discussed the goal of peace on the European continent and Trump expressed an interest in follow-up conversations to discuss “the resolution of Ukraine’s war soon,” one of the people said.

Trump's reaction to Putin's usual bloviating and implied threats will be equally interesting...

Who leaked this? Once again I do not trust hearsay. President Trump has denied this.

This is fake. This is the play. Say that Trump told him not to do something they know Putin is about tondo then call Trump weak or say he blinked so Trump feels the need to do something to look strong. Trump is not Hillary or Kamala. He’s not trying to look strong. He is strong. Very big differnce.

Nope, basic checkers. People who are weak do crazy things (start wars) to show they are strong. People who are strong understand what actually acts as a deterence. This isn’t a mastermind move it’s the reason i never wanted Hillary or Kamala for that matter.

Trump should understand that he’s curre the being monitored by the intel team and they will use whatever he’s doing now as a way to destroy his administration. I know he wants to get right to work but he needs to remember his team isnt in place yet.

Question please. Is Trump currently a private citizen? Did I miss the swearing in. Was it secretly moved up in time to avoid another Democrat shooting him in the head? This is like the fifth thread posting this tripe. I for one wouldn’t mind seeing it yanked.

MOSCOW, November 11. /TASS/. Western media claims of an alleged phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President-elect Donald Trump are false, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

“There was no conversation,” he said. “This is completely untrue; it’s pure fiction,” Peskov emphasized.

He described the Washington Post and Reuters reports about the alleged telephone conversation as “the most remarkable example of the quality of the information that is published nowadays, sometimes even by quite respected outlets.”

The US media earlier alleged that Putin and Trump had discussed the situation in Ukraine and peace on the European continent.

The last Putin-Trump telephone call that was reported on the Kremlin’s website took place in July 2020, at the end of Trump’s first term in office.

So if TASS says so, it must be true, right?

Has Trump denied the call?

Putin and the Russian Govt deny any phone contacts with Trump so far

I wonder if neocon scum and their propagandists here are promoting another “Logan Act” lawfare scam?

From what I have heard, both Trump and Putin have denied that there was a call.

So either two world leaders are lying, or the Washington Post is lying.
