On Saturday, July 5, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump held separate phone conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ahead of the upcoming NATO summit in Ankara. The discussions centered on the ongoing war in Ukraine and efforts to find a resolution to the conflict. These calls took place on the eve of the NATO summit scheduled for Tuesday, July 7, and also coincided with the 250th anniversary of American independence.
According to Yuri Ushakov, Russia’s foreign policy advisor, the conversation between Trump and Putin touched upon the issue of resolving the conflict in Ukraine, with particular attention given to Trump's impending participation in the NATO summit in Turkey on July 7 and 8. During their call, which lasted approximately one hour and 25 minutes, Putin reportedly described the actual situation on the battlefield where Russian armed forces were advancing. The two leaders also discussed regional issues, particularly the conflict with Iran.
Meanwhile, Zelensky confirmed that he had spoken with Trump about the war in Ukraine and characterized the conversation as very positive. He stated that both leaders discussed the current situation on the front lines and their diplomatic efforts. Zelensky emphasized that there was a real possibility the war could end, with American resolve being crucial. Both agreed to continue these discussions during the NATO summit in Ankara.
The talks occurred against the backdrop of heightened tensions within the transatlantic alliance, marked by U.S. accusations that European NATO members are not fulfilling their defense commitments and readiness to respond to American needs. Additionally, the conflict with Iran has introduced new divisions among NATO allies, following previous strains caused by the war in Ukraine and Trump’s demands regarding Greenland.
In addition to his calls with Putin and Zelensky, Trump faced another moment of controversy during the NATO summit when he mistakenly referred to Japan as the "Islamic Republic of Japan." This slip of the tongue occurred during a press conference with Zelensky, where Trump was asked whether he would approve a license for Ukraine to produce its own Patriot missile systems. After describing the defensive nature of such weapons, Trump mentioned the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, stating that "Islamic Republic of Japan" had fired 111 missiles at it around two months prior. However, this reference was based on incorrect information, as the U.S. military had previously denied that the ship had been hit. Trump later reiterated his belief that Iran had been effectively neutralized due to American military technology.
Japan does not have an official state religion, with Shintoism and Buddhism being the most widely practiced religions. According to data from the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper, less than 0.3 percent of Japan's population practices Islam, while Iran is officially known as the Islamic Republic of Iran.
During the press conference, Trump further drew attention by switching the subject of his questions from Zelensky to Putin after being asked if journalists had any questions for the Russian president. When reporters began laughing at the unexpected shift, Trump attempted to clarify that he was asking because he might pose questions directly to Putin himself. This incident recalled past public ridicule directed at former President Joe Biden for similar actions, and social media platforms quickly filled with jokes at Trump's expense.

24ur (POP TV)NeodvisenKonservativnopred 6 urami Trumpova nova blamaža: Japonsko razglasil za islamsko republikoV članku se razpravlja o verbalnem izpadu nekdanjega ameriškega predsednika Donalda Trumpa med pogovorom z ukrajinskim predsednikom Volodimirjem Zelenskijem. Trump je napačno omenil Iran kot "Islamsko republiko Japonsko", kar je široko krožilo na spletu. Napaka se je zgodila, ko je Trump razpravljal o raketnih obrambnih sistemih in omenil, da je Iran dva meseca prej izstrelil 111 izstrelkov na ameriško vojaško ladjo USS Abraham Lincoln. Vendar pa je ameriška vojska kasneje zanikala to trditev. V članku je tudi navedeno, da Japonska nima uradne državne vere in da islam prakticira manj kot 0,3% prebivalstva, kar je v nasprotju s statusom Irana kot Islamske republike Iran. Poleg tega v članku poudarja Trumpovo težnjo k mešanju svetovnih voditeljev, kot je zamenjava Zelenskija z ruskim predsednikom Vladimirjem Putinom med tiskovnim dogodkom.
Ocena pristranskosti (Konservativno): V članku so Trumpove verbalne napake označene kot kazalnik njegovega pomanjkanja znanja ali spoštovanja mednarodnih zadev, kar se ujema z desničarsko perspektivo.
