President Trump, multitasking like a reality TV star, called Vladimir Putin during a cosy White House powwow where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and seven European leaders were gathered, sources told Axios. Trump said 'Putin was expecting' this call after what he optimistically called 'talks' with Zelensky and the Europeans. The aim? A trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky to broker peace — apparently without setting a date or place because, well, suspense is key. Meanwhile, Putin remains on the 'not yet' list, proving diplomacy isn't exactly Trump's TikTok dance.
