Donald Trump<\/a> has sent Vladimir Putin<\/a> a stark message after the two leaders spoke for nearly 50 minutes on the phone on Saturday. The US and Russian Presidents discussed Israel<\/a>‘s strikes on Iran, and the possibility of reviving negotiations over Iran\u2019s nuclear programme.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin tyrant also took the opportunity to wish his counterpart a happy birthday. Trump<\/a> turned 79 on Saturday and will attend a military parade marking the 250th anniversary of the US Army.<\/p>\n

In a post to his Truth Social website, the US President wrote: \u201cPresident Putin called this morning to very nicely wish me a Happy Birthday, but to more importantly, talk about Iran, a country he knows very well.<\/p>\n

“We talked at length. Much less time was spent talking about Russia<\/a>\/Ukraine<\/a>, but that will be for next week.<\/p>\n

“He is doing the planned prisoner swaps \u2013 large numbers of prisoners are being exchanged, immediately, from both sides.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe feels, as do I, this war in Israel<\/a>-Iran should end.”<\/p>\n

However, Trump then ominously added: “I explained… his war should also end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saturday’s military parade will feature more than 6,000 soldiers dressed in uniforms ranging from the Revolutionary War up to the present day.<\/p>\n

It is the brainchild of the US President, who was reportedly inspired by a 2017 Bastille Day procession in Paris.<\/p>\n

Military parades in the US are fairly rare, with the last one on a similar scale taking place in 1991.<\/p>\n

This was to celebrate the end of the first Gulf War and was attended by 8,000 troops.<\/p>\n

The parade comes amid rising political turmoil in the US, with demonstrations taking place all across the country.<\/p>\n

The protests, dubbed \u201cNo Kings\u201d, are taking place at about 2,000 sites nationwide, from big cities to small towns.<\/p>\n

Demonstrators are expected to turn out in their millions as they voice opposition to the excesses of Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Trump has sent Vladimir Putin a stark message after the two leaders spoke for nearly 50 minutes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":184976,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[32,75773,774,12,332,23108,657,659,333,26],"class_list":{"0":"post-184975","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-donald-trump","9":"tag-donald-trump-birthday","10":"tag-iran","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-russia","13":"tag-truth-social","14":"tag-ukraine","15":"tag-usa","16":"tag-vladimir-putin","17":"tag-world"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114684395915440915","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
