International Diplomacy and Russia-Ukraine Dynamics
In a significant development, President-elect Donald Trump reportedly engaged in a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin last Thursday — their first known contact since Trump's electoral victory. According to sources close to the Trump campaign, during the call, Trump urged Putin not to escalate the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, hinting at a strategic attempt to stabilize NATO and regional tensions. The specifics of the discussion remain limited; however, it is understood that Trump emphasized the strength of U.S. military presence in Europe, telling Putin not to escalate the situation, “because I have weapons too.”
