US-Iran War Key News

(Central News Agency reporter Hou Ziying, Washington, 29th exclusive report) US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke today, discussing issues such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the US-Iran war. Trump stated that the two had a "very pleasant conversation," and on the Russia-Ukraine issue, he proposed a temporary ceasefire, believing that Putin might agree to it.

Trump confirmed during a White House event this afternoon, when asked by the media, that he spoke with Putin today, mainly discussing the Ukraine issue, and also the situation in Iran. He described the conversation as "very pleasant."

He said, "I think we'll be able to come up with a solution very quickly, I hope so. I think he (Putin) wants to see a solution."

Trump also revealed that the two spoke for a long time, and on the Russia-Ukraine issue, he suggested a temporary ceasefire, believing that Putin might do so.

Additionally, Trump pointed out that Putin expressed willingness to assist in dealing with Iran's enriched uranium, but Trump responded that he would prefer Putin to first deal with the end of the Russia-Ukraine war, stating, "To me, that would be more important."

Agence France-Presse reported earlier that Putin's diplomatic advisor, Yuri Ushakov, stated that the leaders of Russia and the United States spoke, discussing the Middle East war and the Ukraine issue.

Ushakov told the media in a phone briefing that the conversation lasted over 90 minutes and was "frank and efficient."

The Russia-Ukraine war has been ongoing for over four years. Since his return to the White House last year, Trump has been trying to facilitate a permanent ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, but has not yet secured any significant concessions from the Russian side. (Editor: Wei Shu) 1150430
