Video: "Awkward To Make Him Wait, Could Get Offended" - Putin On Trump Call
New Delhi: Russian President Vladimir Putin while attending an event sprung a surprise by announcing he would speak to his American counterpart Donald Trump in a few minutes. The Russian President's comments came as an answer to a question by a reporter at the event on what he would like to convey to Mr Trump, if he were to speak. "Please don't be angry. I understand we could talk more. But it's so awkward to make [Trump] wait. He could get offended," Mr Putin said, drawing claps from the audience. Soon after that, Mr Trump in a post on Truth Social, the social media platform owned by him, confirmed he would be speaking on call to his Russian counterpart in 15 minutes. "Will be speaking to President Putin of Russia at 10 am. Thank you," Mr Trump said. Putin rushes to talk to Trump, lest he gets offended for being made to wait — RT (@RT_com) July 3, 2025 Later, after the phone call, the US President said he made no progress in discussions with Mr Putin on ending the war in Ukraine. The Kremlin also said Russia would pursue its aims with respect to Ukraine, now dragging through its fourth year. Russia launched its largest-ever drone and missile attack on Ukraine on Friday just hours after the two leaders spoke on phone. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said air alerts had begun echoing out across the country as reports of the presidents' call emerged. "Yet again, Russia is showing it has no intention of ending the war and terror," Mr Zelensky said on social media. "All of this is clear evidence that without truly large-scale pressure, Russia will not change its dumb, destructive behaviour." He asked the US in particular to increase pressure on Moscow. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said an embassy building had been damaged in the attack but that staff were unharmed. "President Trump: Putin is mocking your peace efforts," he added in the social media post.

Was Zuckerberg Asked To Leave Oval Office Meet? Here's What Report Says
Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg was asked to leave the Oval Office during a high-level meeting on the F-47 stealth fighter jets, according to a report. The billionaire was asked to step out, considering the sensitive matter, NBC reported. But another news outlet, quoting a White House official, reported that there was no truth in such claims, adding the situation had been misreported. Zuckerberg briefly stepped in to greet the members at the meeting upon the President's request and then left to wait outside for his scheduled meeting with Donald Trump, which was about to take place after the discussion, The New York Post reported. This was in contrast to NBC's report, which claimed that the Meta CEO walked in unexpectedly during the classified meeting between Mr Trump and senior officials regarding the F-47 stealth fighter jet. According to sources cited by NBC, some officials got worried after seeing the social media magnate's unannounced presence in the meeting room. They feared the lack of proper security clearance and asked him to wait outside. The report added that a young staff member also came in briefly, showed something to Trump on a laptop, and then left. The President's phone also rang a few times during the meeting, it reported. This worried some of the officials, for it was supposed to be a private and secure meeting. They even wondered if those interruptions or phone calls exposed sensitive or secret information. Trump prefers doing things his own way, such as meeting whoever he wants, making spontaneous phone calls, and often inviting people to stay longer than planned, according to NBC. Last month, The NY Post reported that polls showed most Americans don't trust tech billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg when they try to be close to or please the president. A survey done by Tech Oversight Project and Public Policy Polling found that 63 per cent of TRump supporters don't like Mark Zuckerberg, making him the most disliked CEO among big tech companies.
