Trump,Putin discusses working together to end violence in Syria

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed working together to end the violence in Syria in their first phone call since US air strikes in Syria strained US-Russian relations. 

The White House said, the two leaders agreed that all parties must do all they can to end the violence in Syria and that Trump and Putin also discussed working together against Islamic militants



throughout the Middle East. It also said Washington will send a representative to Syrian cease-fire talks in Astana, Kazakhstan, today and tomorrow.

The White House statement said Trump's decision to launch 59 cruise missiles against a Syrian airfield on 4th last month in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack angered the Russians and led to some bitter exchanges between the two governments.
