Moscow sees Washington as its most important partner
in fighting international terrorism, Putin told Trump, according to the
Kremlin’s official statements on the conversation. Both leaders
reportedly supported the idea of improving “real coordination”
between their nations in the fight against Daesh and other terrorist
groups active in Syria.
Trump and Putin also expressed their willingness to work together to
“develop and stabilize” US-Russia interaction and assured each other
that their nations’ citizens view the other’s positively.
In addition, the two world leaders discussed Iran’s nuclear program,
the Arab-Israeli conflict, the situation on the Korean peninsula, and
the conflicts in Syria and Ukraine, the Kremlin reports, as well
as nonproliferation issues.
Trump and Putin are expected to speak again to discuss possible dates and places for a face-to-face meeting.
