No arrangements yet for Putin-Trump conversation: Kremlin spokesman

No arrangements are being made yet for a phone call between President Vladimir Putin of Russia and President Donald Trump of the United States, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, AzVision.az reports, citing TASS.

"Not yet," he said, when asked if the Trump team had contacted the Kremlin and whether preparations for a conversation between the two presidents had begun.

Trump took office as US president on January 20. Shortly afterwards, while talking with reporters at the White House, he said that his conversation with Putin might happen very soon. CNN reported earlier, citing sources, that Trump had instructed his team to organize a phone call with the Russian leader in the first days after his inauguration.

The Russian president said at a meeting with the national Security Council that Moscow welcomed the new US administration’s desire to restore direct contact. He also congratulated Trump on taking office.

Putin and Trump last talked over the phone on July 23, 2020.
