President Donald Trump revealed on Monday that the person who moved him to make a new stance on Vladimir Putin was First Lady Melania Trump.
Trump, who is growing frustrated with Russian president of late, said it’s his wife of 20 years who points out that, after he talks with Putin about a peace deal, Russia continues to bomb Ukraine.
The president, yesterday, was asked about Putin during an Oval Office sitdown with NATO Secretary General Mark Butte.
Putin’s news
Trump explained he speaks to the Russian leader often, but gave out surprising information about who points out Putin‘s contradictions.
‘My conversations with him are always very pleasant. I say, isn’t that very lovely conversation? And then the missiles go off that night, I go home, I tell the first lady… I spoke with Vladimir today, we had a wonderful conversation. She [says]: “Oh, really, another city was just hit,”‘ Trump said.
Where is Melania Trump?
Melania Trump has not been a visible presence around the White House in Trump’s second term, spending the majority of her time in New York, where their son Barron goes to New York University.
But she and the president are known to speak on the phone often.
Melania Trump was born in then-Yugoslavia, which was a country under communist control. She lived in a communist-style apartment.
Yugoslavia was divided in the 1980s and Melania lived in the Slovenia portion.
Her family lived well but she denied her father, Viktor Knavs, was a communist.
In her memoir Melania, she attacked descriptions of her father as a communist saying it was ‘not reflective of his political beliefs’ and party membership was ‘mandatory.’
