U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday told reporters he had a "very good call" with Russian President Vladimir Putin about Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East.
"There's tremendous hatred between President Putin and (Ukraine's) President Zelenskiy. They can't seem to get it together, but I think it was a positive call on that subject," Trump said.
Trump added that Putin "wants to be helpful" with the Iran conflict. "I said, 'You could be more helpful by getting the Ukraine-Russia war over with. That will be more helpful,'" Trump told reporters in a press conference at his Florida golf club.
A foreign policy aide for Putin said on Monday that Putin proposed an idea for a "quick political and diplomatic end to the Iranian conflict."

Oh, noes! \o/
COLLUSION!
So we are supposed to take advice on quickly ending a war from PUTIN?!
We might as well ask Bush and Obama then.
It would be helpful if Russia stopped giving Iran the exact bombing coordinates of US targets in the area.
Has Putin agreed to stop killing Americans?
Or is he allowed to continue?
Putin is always willing to talk, but he lies his @ss off.
Trump should tell the USAF to permanently remove it.
Can we just give Iran back to the Iranians already?
F’n Reuters how are going to end this if you don’t talk to both sides
COLLUSION!! iMPEACH! (ChuckU tomorrow.) 🙄
Putin is more pro-American than Bush or Obama.
Who do you think is the one who doesn’t get to talk in a conversation between Trump and Putin? We have the greatest Military, no one can do what we’re doing, you know I rebuilt it in my first term. Would never need to use it if they didn’t steal the election, you know they stole it, crooked as hell, you and me had to go through that together, you know we’re now the hottest country in the world world, they should… Vs “ in order to discuss the next phase of the war we have to talk about what happened in 1238, Actually I’m jumping ahead…
They’re not called Al Reuters for nothing!
“You could be more helpful by getting the Ukraine-Russia war over with. That will be more helpful,’” Trump told reporters”
LOL! The utter audacity of Putin to think he can “broker peace.”
Putin and Xi are all in a wad.
They don’t like Epic Fury one bit………too damn bad.
