In a phone call lasting over 90 minutes, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed critical issues including a potential ceasefire in Ukraine and Iran's nuclear program. Trump indicated that he suggested a ceasefire to Putin, expressing hope that it could be achieved. Putin's foreign policy aide, Yuri Ushakov, described their conversation as 'friendly, frank, and businesslike,' highlighting Moscow's willingness to assist in resolving the conflict surrounding Iran's nuclear capabilities. Trump confirmed that Putin is interested in helping but reiterated his priority of resolving the Ukraine situation.

Trump also stated that he would continue the naval blockade against Iran until the country addresses its nuclear program, asserting that the blockade is more effective than military action.
