 'Trump said, 'If I were you, I would stay in Islamabad': When the US President himself calls and gives you the news

Since the start of the US-Israeli war against Iran, US President Donald Trump has made several important announcements in this regard through his social media platform ‘Truth Social’. But sometimes he keeps giving new and important information during direct conversations with journalists.

Whether it is the announcement of a temporary ceasefire with Iran at the suggestion of Pakistan or the decision to block the Strait of Hormuz, the media around the world is keeping an eye on Trump’s Truth Social account, because important news is posted here.

But some journalists covering the White House also have access to Trump himself. When they call Trump, Trump himself talks to them and informs them of the latest situation and important decisions and announcements related to the near future.

Something similar happened to American journalist Caitlin Dornbus yesterday, the details of which she herself has described. Journalist Caitlin Dornbus called Trump from the federal capital of Pakistan, Islamabad, and asked if negotiations with Iran were going to be held again. And then in an interesting way, Trump talked to him about staying in Islamabad and a possible second round of talks.

Trump's call and advice to stay in Islamabad

Caitleen Dornbus, a journalist covering US foreign policy, has said in her writing for the New York Post that Trump says that a new round of talks between Iran and the US could begin in the next two days.

The story of the US president's interview with the journalist is also interesting.

Journalist Talat Hussain spoke to American journalist Caitlin Dornbus, who interviewed US President Donald Trump over the phone.

She says that according to Trump, if talks with Iran are resumed, they could take place in the next two days and these talks could take place in Islamabad.

According to Caitlin, Trump said he would not be part of the US delegation himself, but “it’s quite interesting that Islamabad could host the talks again.”

She told Talat Hussain that “it all happened as I was returning (from Pakistan to the US) yesterday. I wanted to ask Trump about these rumors about whether the talks would continue in Islamabad.”

She says she told Trump during the call that he was in Islamabad at the moment, so “should I book a flight home?”

“Trump initially said yes, you should come back home ... maybe he himself initially didn’t think the talks would be (again) in Islamabad.”

Caitlin added that “37 minutes after that initial call, I got a call from Trump and he said, ‘If I were you, I would stay in Islamabad.’” Progress is being made and it is possible that something will happen in 48 hours.

The American journalist said that after Trump’s second call, he told his editor that he might have to stay in Islamabad longer.

When Talat Hussain asked, “How unusual is it in your career for the president to call you back?”

How does Trump give interviews to journalists?

The AFP news agency recently reported that, unlike previous US presidents, Donald Trump's personal mobile number is widely known in Washington DC's press circles. He often takes calls from journalists himself.

AFP's White House correspondent Danny Kemp called Trump a few minutes after the ceasefire with Iran was announced. During the conversation, he learned that China, as well as Pakistan, was involved in the ceasefire efforts.

Danny Kemp shared his experience of calling the 'most powerful person in the world'. He says that now you just dial a number and Trump picks up the phone.

He says it was 10 pm after the ceasefire with Iran was announced. According to him, journalists have to choose a good time to talk to Trump, such as in the evening or during the weekend when he is in a calm state after playing golf and there is a breaking news situation in which you can get new information.

According to Danny, on the second ring, Trump picked up the phone and said ‘hello’ and the voice was his. ‘There is no operator, you dial the number and Trump will talk from there.’

The AFP journalist said that media representatives often do not get much time with Trump on this call.

He says that after a minute and a half, Trump said ‘thank you’ and hung up.

He said that several journalists in Washington, DC have Trump’s number and he also knows a journalist who spoke to him for eight minutes.

According to Danny, he did not have the numbers of former presidents such as Joe Biden. “Journalists call Trump only when there is a big news story.”

He also said that he made the call from his study at home and that he had told his children to be quiet a short time before.

He says that every reporter in Washington at this point “would like to have this experience.”
