WNU Editor: I have doubts about this story. It is known that President Trump has given his personal cell number to some world leaders. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau is one of them. But I know that when it comes to phone calls with leaders like Putin or Chinese President Xi, they are planned in advance, and both parties go to extreme lengths make sure that a phone call is not missed and/or someone has to wait for the other party to pick up the phone.
