WASHINGTON (AP) — A new book’s assertion that former President Donald Trump may have had as many as seven private phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin since leaving the White House has refocused attention on their politically fraught relationship and on Trump’s sustained dialogue with world leaders as he seeks a return to power. The detail in journalist Bob Woodward’s book “War” raised eyebrows in light of a special counsel investigation during his presidency that examined potential ties between Russia and Trump’s 2016 campaign. Plus, more recently, Trump’s repeated criticism of U.S. aid to Ukraine as it fends off Russia’s invasion has hinted at a possible radical policy overhaul if elected. The Trump campaign and the Kremlin denied the calls.
