The Talk Heard Around The World

President Trump and Vladimir Putin had their first official conversation on the phone on Saturday according to an article published by the Washington Post.

Despite the American mainstream media trying to portray Vladimir Putin as having interfered in the U.S. election, President Trump said he hopes to cultivate “a great relationship” with Vladimir Putin. That comment is likely to draw harsh criticisms from news organizations like CNN that will most likely use that comment to insinuate the relationship between the two world leaders played a hand in President Trump winning the White House in November.

One of the highlights from the conversation was their discussion on how to defeat ISIS.
