Ben Ariel, 15/11/16
United States President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke on the phone on Monday and agreed to "normalize U.S.-Russia ties", the Kremlin said, according to the BBC.
During the conversation, Putin wished Trump "success in implementing the election program", while Trump said he wanted an "enduring relationship with Russia".
The two also talked about the fact that 2017 marked 210 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the countries "which in itself should stimulate a return to pragmatic, mutually beneficial co-operation", according to the BBC.
Putin and Trump agreed to stay in touch by phone and arrange to meet in person at a later date, the Kremlin added.
The statement did not make it clear who had initiated the phone call, but Trump's office said the Kremlin had called and that issues such as mutual threats and challenges, and strategic economic affairs, were discussed.
