According to the report, General Millie Trump did not tell those calls and kept them secret, while Trump’s days in the White House were numbered.

These talks are vital to improving mutual understanding of the US national security interests, reducing tensions, providing clarity and avoiding unintended consequences or conflict, the spokesperson emphasized.
