He confirms the call took place (“The answer is yes”), but avoids giving details: “I don’t want to comment on it” and “No, I can’t do that.” He acknowledges the event but refuses to elaborate on its content.
– On how the call went:
When pressed if the call “went well,” he states, “I wouldn’t say it went well or badly, it was a fun call.” Thus, he neither labels it positive nor negative, simply referring to it as “a fun call.”

– Ultimately, he minimizes the significance of the call, describing it as light, with no clear consequences.
In summary: Trump denies that there is an imminent attack, confirms he had a call but does not disclose its content, and rates it as “fun” without assigning any political or diplomatic weight.
