MOSCOW (REUTERS)- The phone call between United States President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday (Jan 29) was a display of mutual respect between the two men, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday.
In the call, their first conversation since Trump's inauguration, Putin and Trump agreed to try to rebuild US Russia ties and to cooperate in Syria.
