President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a significant phone conversation Monday that focused on two of the world’s most volatile conflicts: the escalating crisis involving Iran and ongoing efforts to bring the war in Ukraine to an end.
The call, confirmed by officials in Moscow, marked the first publicly known conversation between the two leaders since fighting tied to Iran erupted. The discussion lasted about an hour and covered potential diplomatic paths to reduce tensions while also addressing broader geopolitical concerns.
