CNN: Trump to speak with Putin on Tuesday
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is set to speak by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, their first call since Russia denounced a US military strike against Syria last month.
Trump and Putin will talk Tuesday afternoon, a White House official said, in their third phone conversation since Trump took office. They last spoke following a terror attack in St. Petersburg, Russia, in early April, and also chatted a week after Trump's inauguration in January.
The call comes after Putin characterized a US strike against a Syrian government air base "aggression against a sovereign state in violation of the norms of international law." The US strike was in response to a suspected chemical attack by Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, a Putin ally, on his own people.
