Why is Trump reluctant to discuss his communications with Vladimir Putin?

Trump displays palpable fear and constraint when questioned about his communications with Putin. When repeatedly asked about whether he had spoken to the Russian leader, Trump consistently evades with phrases like "I don't want to say that" or "I can't tell you what I'm talking about." This unusual reticence contrasts with his typical communication style. The commentator notes this peculiar behavior occurs amid changing U.S. foreign policy positions that appear to favor Russia over traditional Western allies. Trump's evasiveness raises significant concerns about transparency in his relationship with Putin and questions about who might be influencing his ability to discuss these communications freely.
