Trump, Putin discuss nuclear weapons, Mueller report during lengthy phone call
"They had a very good discussion. Spoke for a little over an hour," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters at the White House."They discussed nuclear agreements, both new and extended, with the possibility of having conversations with China on that front as well."
She did not specify which treaty. The current strategic nuclear arms treaty, New START, expires in 2021. "They spoke about North Korea for a good bit of time on the call, and reiterated both the commitment and the need for denuclearization, and the president said several times on this front, as well, the need and importance of Russia stepping up and continuing to help and put pressure on North Korea to denuclearize," she said. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un traveled to Russia last week to meet with Putin.
