The Kremlin on Wednesday denied reports by American journalist Bob Woodward that former U.S. President Donald Trump spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin as many as seven times after leaving office, the RBC daily reported. When asked by RBC if Putin and Trump had spoken on the phone, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "No, that's not true." In his book "War", Woodward said Trump ordered an aide away from his office at his Florida residence at Mar-a-Lago in early 2024 so he could conduct a private phone call with Putin, according to The Washington Post's summary of the book.
