The notion of world leaders calling each other up via cellphone may seem unremarkable in the modern, mobile world. Even if Trump uses his government-issued cellphone, his calls are vulnerable to eavesdropping, particularly from foreign governments, national security experts say.

State Department and National Security Council officials typically prepare scripted talking points and background on the leader on the other end of the line. The White House did not respond to questions on whether the president is keeping records of any less-formal calls with world leaders.
