Railroaders place to shoot the shit.

President Trump reportedly asked world leaders to contact him directly on his cellphone, raising questions about security, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.

Trump urged Canadian and Mexican leaders to call his cellphone, former and current U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the practice told the the news wire, adding that only Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has utilized the direct communication line.

The recently elected French President Emmanuel Macron and Trump exchanged phone numbers following the conclusion of the Frances election, a French official told the AP who would not say if Macron intended to take advantage of the offer.

The White House and Trudeaus office did not respond to the news wires requests for comment.

AP Canadian Bureau Chief Rob Gillies said in response to the report that Trudeau is calling Trump on his cellphone.

While it is a common practice for people to call one another on their cellphones, calls between world leaders are a carefully managed ordeal. Typical diplomatic protocol involves phone calls on highly secure phone lines. Trumps decision to breach this protocol signals an ongoing distrust of official channels and modus operandi. 

Even government issued cellphones are at risk of being eavesdropped by foreign governments, national security experts told the AP.

If you are speaking on an open line, then its an open line, meaning those who have the ability to monitor those conversations are doing so, said Derek Chollet, a former Pentagon adviser and National Security Council official told the AP.
