Current Events > Trump gave his phone number out to world leaders and US officials had no idea.

(+) Yeah! (+)

President Donald Trump reportedly gave out his personal cell phone number to foreign leaders shortly after taking office and shocked White House officials when a summary of a conversation was released without their knowledge.

White House aides who were unaware Trump had spoken to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were startled after Canadian officials released a summary of a conversation in April 2017, according to a Washington Post report published on Friday.

We had no idea what happened, a senior US official told The Post.

During the call, Trudeau reportedly objected to Trumps and his administrations claims of a trade imbalance between the two countries.

Calls with foreign leaders are usually planned ahead and scripted, requiring consultation with senior advisers, such as the national security adviser. The call is eventually transcribed and then parsed into a public statement.

According to the public statement from Trumps call with Trudeau, the two leaders discussed the dairy trade and discussed lumber coming into the United States. Officials reportedly had to rely on Trumps memory of the call for details, The Post said.

Wonder if he conversed with Putin this way.
