“Secretary of State Pompeo received permission from the Ukrainian government to issue a transcript of the phone call I had with their president,” he wrote.

According to him, in Kiev "they also don’t know what’s the matter."

Earlier, Trump said that he did not exert pressure on Zelensky during a telephone conversation around which a scandal erupted.

According to sources in The Wall Street Journal, Trump, in an interview with his Ukrainian counterpart, tried to force Kiev to launch an investigation into the son of former US Vice President Joe Biden.
