Putin and Trump to speak by phone in their 6th conversation this year
- On July 3, 2025, the sixth publicly reported phone conversation took place between the leader of the United States and his Russian counterpart, during which they exchanged views on Ukraine, Iran, and additional matters.
- The call occurred shortly after the Pentagon temporarily suspended shipments of certain weapons to Ukraine as part of an ongoing assessment of U.S. defense inventories, and followed heightened regional tensions involving Israel and Iran.
- During the nearly hour-long conversation, Trump emphasized a push for a quick end to the Ukraine conflict, while Putin reiterated Russia's readiness to pursue negotiations and insisted any peace deal must address Ukraine's NATO aspirations and territorial status.
- Trump announced Congress had passed a $4.5 trillion tax and spending cut bill, which Putin congratulated him on, and the Kremlin described the talk as frank, businesslike, and concrete.
- The exchange reflects ongoing but cautious U.S.-Russian contacts amid low bilateral ties since the Cold War, with Kremlin adviser Ushakov noting uncertainty about common ground due to their leaders' differences.
