Trump: The heads of the EU countries asked me to call Putin, as he does not answer them

The leaders of the European Union (EU) have repeatedly appealed to US President Donald Trump with a request to call Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The head of the White House himself said this in an interview with NBC News.

"You know, the heads of the European Union countries have asked me so many times to call Putin," Trump said.

He explained that the numerous appeals of European politicians with such a request were dictated by the fact that the Russian leader does not respond to their calls.

Earlier, EADaily reported that in the same interview, US President Donald Trump allowed the possibility of signing a bill by Senator Lindsey Graham❶ providing for new sanctions against Russia.
