Trump, Putin Hold Productive Phone Call: White House

The phone conversation between US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin was productive, White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said.

Leavitt noted that during the conversation the leaders "discussed many issues." The Russian president congratulated Trump on "solving peace in the Middle East."

The conversation between Putin and Trump was the eighth since the beginning of the year. The last one took place almost two months ago, a few days after the Alaska summit.
