President Donald Trump “shocked” European leaders on a conference call while discussing the outcome of his conversation with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, according to a report.
Trump and Putin spoke for around two hours on Monday in what was seen in Europe as an opportunity for the U.S. to pressure Putin to agree to a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine or face new sanctions.
However, in a follow-up conference call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, and Finland, Trump stated that Putin had only agreed to discuss a ceasefire and that the U.S. would not be involved in the negotiations, unnamed sources told Axios.
