US And Russia: Putin Calls Trump

President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed a “settlement for the crisis in Syria” over the phone Monday (Nov. 14), according to a statement released by the Kremlin. The Kremlin spokesman, Peskov, reportedly said Putin has no immediate plan to meet President-elect Donald Trump in person. Last week, he described Putin and Trump as “very much alike” in how they see the world and said Russia hopes “for their good personal relationship.”

President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin may also meet and discuss the latest in Syria when they both travel to Peru for an international summit this week, according to a report from Reuters. At the G-20 summit in China earlier this fall, Mr. Obama and Mr. Putin met to negotiate a ceasefire in Syria but weren’t able to reach an agreement.
