President Has No Information about Content of Call between Premier and Trump

Trencin, November 27 (TASR) - I have no information about the content of the conversation between Premier Robert Fico (Smer-SD) and US president-elect Donald Trump, President Peter Pellegrini said at a press conference in Trencin on Wednesday, adding that he's sure that the prime minister will inform him about the content of the phone call. "It's good that he's communicating with a man who will be at the helm of a world power that will have a major influence on developments both on the Ukrainian front and overall, in the event of a trade war with the European Union," opined Pellegrini. According to him, it's necessary to talk with the incoming president Trump about a number of issues, especially economic ones. He noted that other European leaders had also spoken to him. Fico said on Wednesday that he had spoken to Trump on the phone and talked to him mainly about the war in Ukraine, but also about criminal prosecutions and assassination attempts. am/mcs
