WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin for remarks he made Thursday \u201cacknowledging America’s strong economic performance,\u201d the White House said.<\/p>\n

The two presidents spoke by phone following Putin’s annual press conference in Moscow.<\/p>\n

They discussed ways to work together to address North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic weapons program, the White House said.<\/p>\n

In an equally brief statement, the Kremlin said in addition to North Korea, Trump and Putin discussed relations between their two countries and agreed to stay in contact. The Kremlin made a point of noting that Trump initiated the call.<\/p>\n

During his remarks in Moscow, Putin accused those investigating potential collusion between Russia and Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign of damaging the U.S. political situation, \u201cincapacitating the president and showing a lack of respect to voters who cast their ballots for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Putin also warned the U.S. against using force against North Korea. Trump has repeatedly said that all options remain on the table.<\/p>\n
