Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday didn’t say whether he had spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin since leaving office in 2021, but said, “If I did, it’s a smart thing.”
Trump previously denied reporting in journalist Bob Woodward’s new book that he had multiple phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin since leaving the White House. He told Newsmax it was “absolutely wrong.”
But on Tuesday in an interview at the Chicago Economic Club with Bloomberg, Trump said he wouldn’t comment on whether he had spoken with Putin but that it would have been a “smart thing” if he had.
