The Russian embassy in Washington said that it was President Donald Trump who initiated the call with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and that the conversation lasted 90 minutes.
Trump said Friday that the controversial call was probably more than an hour, and White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters it was slightly more than an hour.
Putin urged Trump to ease the sanction pressure on North Korea as it makes a good-faith fulfillment of its commitment, apparently to denuclearize, the embassy noted on Facebook. The phone conversation occurred the day before Pyonyang fired a barrage of unidentified projectiles into the Sea of Japan. A North Korean statement Saturday said the test of large-caliber long-range rocket launchers and tactical guided weapons was intended to increase the combat ability of the country.

WTF, Trump getting foreign policy advice from Putin.
And Clinton was impeached for lying about a blow job.

(32,634 posts)Well, Putin or other oligarchs may eventually build those big hotels. But you can bet Chump's name won't go on any of them. Why build enormous hotels when no tourists even want to go there? Just look at what the oligarchs are doing, with Putin's permission. They're all buying property outside the country wherever they can. Even they don't want to travel inside their own country. Most Russians live in poverty and the oligarchs are careful not to disclose how wealthy they really are, because their money was stolen from the Russian people.
