The White House described President Donald Trump's hour-long telephone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin as a "significant start to improving the relationship" between the nations "that is in need of repair," according to Reuters.
"The positive call was a significant start to improving the relationship between the United States and Russia that is in need of repair," the White House said in a brief statement about the hour-long call, released hours after it ended and long after the Kremlin gave its account of the conversation, Reuters wrote.
