Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed arms control during a phone call between the two leaders Thursday, the Kremlin and White House said.
“The two leaders also discussed critical bilateral and global issues. President Trump reiterated his hope of avoiding an expensive three-way arms race between China, Russia, and the United States and looked forward to progress on upcoming arms control negotiations in Vienna,” White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement.
