Trump said the agreement came after a 90‑minute phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which he described as "highly successful." The Kremlin confirmed the call length and said the leaders also discussed the Ukraine crisis and the situation with Iran, with Putin indicating he would consider resuming peace talks on Ukraine. Trump added that both leaders are interested in attending a summit in China scheduled for November and that the diesel supply could help lower record‑high global fuel prices.
