It’s an exciting day for Donald Trump: a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with the prospect of an in-person meeting. Trump congratulated Putin on his recent re-election, and:
“We had a very good call,” Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, where he was meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. “We will probably be meeting in the not-too distant future to discuss the arms race, which is getting out of control.”
Russia is substantially defining the details of what we know about the call:
The part about “taking into account the changes in the leadership of the US State Department” sure is interesting. Also “further bilateral contacts,” i.e. “screw you, Europe.”
Does the fact that he got to talk to his hero/boss mean Trump will be in a good mood for the rest of the day? Maybe he’ll even get three scoops of ice cream today!
