WH: Trump, Putin Discuss Possible New Nuclear Accord

By Staff- Agencies

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladmir Putin discussed the possibility of a new multilateral nuclear accord in a Friday phone call, the White House said Friday.

They also discussed the situation in Venezuela and North Korean denuclearization, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a White House briefing.

She said they also touched on trade and the situation in Ukraine during their talks -- which lasted almost an hour and a half according to Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

In February, the US official withdrew from the landmark Cold War INF missile treaty with Russia, saying Moscow was in violation of the agreement and has been "for years."
