Trump says he is talking with Putin at the moment

Washington — President Trump is talking with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday at 10 a.m., the U.S. president introduced on social media. 

Earlier this week, the White Home confirmed the U.S. is halting some weapons shipments to Ukraine. The White Home stated the choice was made after a Pentagon assessment of U.S. army help and help to different international locations. The pause was put in place due to issues that U.S. army stockpiles have been falling too low, a U.S. official stated.

The president and Putin spoke in mid-June, and Mr. Trump has expressed frustration about each Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as Russia’s warfare on Ukraine continues for ever and ever. 

Mr. Trump plans to talk with Zelenskyy on Friday. 

This can be a growing story.
