Still no official readout of Trump/Putin call from WH. Did Putin tell Trump to wait?
It's possible that the WH staff is still debating how best to spin whatever statement they make. Though with Bannon, who's been doing much of the writing for the WH, present for the call, it shouldn't have taken them this long.
And in the meantime, they've let the Kremlin get its own version of the call out there first, undisputed. And so the media had to use the Kremlin version of the call.
Which makes it look very much like Putin is taking the lead here, with Trump the subordinate.
Which is a great PR power play by the Kremlin.
