WASHINGTON \u2014 President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin discussed efforts to bring peace to war-torn Syria during an hour-plus phone call on Tuesday. Iran, North Korea and Ukraine also were on the agenda, the White House said.<\/p>\n

Trump called it a \u201cgreat call\u201d Tuesday afternoon as he left the White House to spend Thanksgiving in Florida. Noting the length, he said he and Putin spoke \u201cvery strongly about bringing peace to Syria\u201d and \u201cvery strongly about North Korea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump’s phone call with the Russian president came a day after Putin met with Syrian President Bashar Assad. Putin hosted Assad at a Black Sea resort ahead of a summit later this week with Russia, Turkey and Iran. Assad was called to Russia to get him to agree to potential peace initiatives drafted by the other three countries, the Kremlin said.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin said Putin briefed Trump in the phone call about his talks with Assad and plans for a political settlement in Syria. Putin also called for co-ordination of anti-terror efforts with the U.S., the Kremlin said, adding that Afghanistan was also discussed.<\/p>\n
