The calls were made from Air Force One as Trump was returning from the summit with Putin in Helsinki, Finland. The purpose of the calls was for Trump to brief the leaders on the discussions he had with Putin. The White House did not provide details on what was discussed during Trump's talks with Zelenskiy and the European leaders.
