President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have not spoken since Trump won the election and Putin called to congratulate him. That will all change on Saturday, when Putin will speak with Trump over the phone, the Kremlin announced Friday.
Putin's spokesperson said the two leaders will "exchange views about main parameters of current bilateral relations," The Associated Press reports. It is unclear what specifically will be discussed or if the two will agree to meet in person.
