The White House has not confirmed reports that former President Donald Trump communicated with Russian President Vladimir Putin seven times since leaving office in 2021, but Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre expressed serious concerns if true. This information comes from Bob Woodward's book 'War', which indicates at least one call between Trump and Putin occurred in early 2024. Jean-Pierre highlighted that Trump's opposition to increasing aid to Ukraine makes these potential communications especially troubling. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the claims as disinformation, while a Trump aide has also questioned the likelihood of such conversations. Trump's campaign has vehemently denied the veracity of Woodward's claims, labeling them as fabricated. The situation reflects ongoing tensions surrounding Trump's relationship with Russia and his potential influence on U.S. foreign policy.
