over the phone last night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The pair discussed bilateral

14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The White House added that both \u201cdiscussed working together to resolve the very dangerous situation in North Korea\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Trump also reportedly thanked his Russian counterpart \u201cfor acknowledging America\u2019s strong economic performance in his annual press conference,\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Both leaders agreed to continue contacts, the Kremlin added but did not provide further details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Donald Trump\u2019s administration has been plagued by ongoing investigations

Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">During his annual end-of-year press conference in Moscow, Mr President Putin claimed that he could see \u201ca number of fairly serious achievements over the short period\u201d Trump has been in office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">He added that

14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Despite the military perseverance shown by North Korea, the Russian leader claimed that he does not accept Kim Jong-un\u2019s communist regime as a nuclear state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">President Putin also claimed he would
