U.S. President Donald Trump’s inner circle is advising him against speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin unless Russia commits to a full ceasefire in Ukraine, NBC News reported on Thursday, citing administration officials.
The reported pushback from aides reflects concern over the optics and timing of any direct engagement with the Kremlin while the war in Ukraine continues. According to NBC, one official noted that while advisers are recommending caution, Trump could still decide to call Putin suddenly.
Just days earlier, Trump told NBC News he planned to speak with Putin sometime this week. The potential call has sparked renewed speculation over Trump’s diplomatic approach to ending the three-year conflict in Ukraine — a goal he has repeatedly said he could achieve quickly if re-elected.
No official call has yet been confirmed by the White House or the Kremlin.
