Trump Holds 2 Pre-G7 Calls on Ukraine and Iran as Putin Describes 1-Hour Talk
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 14
Summary
A Kremlin readout said Trump and Putin spoke for about an hour on Sunday in a call described as “friendly and frank,” with Ukraine, US-Iran negotiations and Washington-Moscow contacts on the agenda.
Trump also spoke separately with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy before departing for the G7 summit, keeping both sides of the Ukraine war in direct contact ahead of leaders’ meetings.
Zelenskyy had already said he would press for more peace talks at the G7 and is expected to meet Trump there as European leaders try to shape his approach to the war.
The back-to-back calls put Ukraine and Iran at the center of Trump’s pre-summit diplomacy, with the G7 in France set to test whether those contacts can translate into broader coordination.
