“I had a wonderful talk with the highly respected President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko. The purpose of the call was to thank him for the release of 16 prisoners. We are also discussing the release of 1,300 additional prisoners. Our conversation was a very good one. We discussed many topics, including President Putins visit to Alaska. I look forward to meeting President Lukashenko in the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The social media post claiming Donald Trump personally spoke with Belarus President Lukashenko to thank him for the release of 16 prisoners and discussed the release of 1,300 others misrepresents documented facts.

However, it omits the crucial fact that, following a complete overhaul of its leadership in 2025, President Trump now personally controls and directs the honoree selection process.

“It is my Great Honor to nominate Rebecca Taibleson to serve as a Judge on the United States Court of Appeals, for the Seventh Circuit, in the Great State of Wisconsin.” @realDonaldTrump
