There are photos of Trump striding down some west wing corridor with Schwab next to him, so we know they have talked. Trump also met with Kissinger during his first term, looked a little embarrassed, MAGA never seemed to notice. Putin is reportedly a friend of Kissinger too.
At these levels players are players and you better be on terms with all the players if you can be because that is just the way you have to play it, or you become irrelevant and they go around you.
Putin is looking to disrupt a unipolar world and that is a fine thing because a unipolar world will almost certainly just agree to genocide 90% of us. You have to look those types in the eye and say "no, its not going to happen"
