🇺🇸 U.S. President Donald Trump has interrupted his talks in Washington with European leaders to call 🇷🇺 Russian President Vladimir Putin, an EU diplomat told Reuters on Monday.

The talks are due to resume after the call, which Trump had initially said would take place after he consulted with European leaders, added the diplomat. Germany's Bild newspaper first reported the call.

The leaders of Germany, Britain, France, Italy, Finland and the European Union are accompanying Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky on his Washington trip, as well as the secretary-general of NATO.

The negotiations in the Oval Office resumed shortly after the reported phone call, according to Zelensky's spokesperson Serhiy Nykyforov, cited by CNN.

US Chair of the Joint Chiefs General Dan Caine, and his staff, have been working on potential security guarantees for Ukraine according to a source familiar with the planning, cited by CNN.

Poor and weak countries fear the US.

While the most powerful nations fear Russia.

That makes Russia the overrall power.

They are already regretting.

The man is belittling America and turning things upside down in the states.

I suspect Trump, Putin and Netanyahu belong to the same powerful cult. They seem to be working together discreetly angry

If you want peace you don't create a hostile environment for others.

I can bet EU and Nato cannot explain the reasons for their actions leading up to the invasion and war.

This statement tells alot about you and your background. If you cant recognise one of the filthiest and most despicable and barbaric leaders the world has ever known, heaven help you.

Voting a mad man to lead most exalted position? Highly incredible, not even a lunatic that has been tested and failed once
Voters are mad, that's why I don't blame how, some wicked rulers are leading different nations the world with iron fist.

Early report said the white house instructed him to dress cooperate otherwise he won't be allowed into the White house.

Nice. Trump knows that Europe is no a true ally anymore. They have weak leaders and Trump has little respect for them

Trump is the best thing that's happened to America!!!
His love for the country is evident in his policies, which aim to make America great again. I wish Nigeria's leaders shared a similar passion for their country.
Most of all, I wish President Bola Tinubu (PBAT) were as passionate about Nigeria as Trump is about America in matters concerning his country.

Trump is known for incoherence and on the spot approach. An attitude if not tamed might land the whole world in an unprecedented mess. Trump is not known for through and well thought out decisions.
