Trump: Putin doesn't answer the phone to EU leaders, but he does to me

US President Donald Trump said European Union leaders have repeatedly asked him to call Russian President Vladimir Putin, claiming the Kremlin leader has ignored their attempts at communication as the war in Ukraine continues.

"Do you know how many times the leaders of the European Union have asked me to call Putin? Because he doesn't return their calls," Trump said in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press."

Trump's comments come as his self-imposed 100-day deadline to broker a solution between Russia and Ukraine ended without any results.

In the interview, Trump repeated his claim that the war would not have happened if he had remained in office and said he believes a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine is possible.  

Foreign media say Trump doesn't like the slow progress of peace negotiations, claiming that Putin may be eavesdropping and that he may not be interested in ending the war.

Outgoing German Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke with Putin on the phone on November 15, 2024, marking their first conversation in nearly two years.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded to the call the same day, warning that it could open a "Pandora's box" for further talks with Russia, potentially undermining Kiev's position. /CNA
