The media reported on requests from Trump's entourage to refrain from calling Putin.

The entourage of US President Donald Trump advises him not to hold another telephone conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin until a full ceasefire is agreed. This was reported on Friday, April 4, by NBC News, citing government sources.

"Trump's inner circle advises him not to call Putin until he agrees to a full cease—fire," the publication says.

They added that so far there are no scheduled telephone conversations between the two heads of state.

As indicated, Trump may "suddenly" want to talk to Putin. However, the US president's entourage believes that a telephone conversation is a bad idea until the Russian leader agrees to a complete cease-fire in the conflict in Ukraine.
