U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed Venezuelan oil and the impact of the war with Iran on global energy markets during what the Kremlin described as a "frank" and "constructive" phone call.
The conversation, which lasted about an hour and was the first between the two leaders since December 2025, covered the war involving Iran, the conflict in Ukraine and volatility in oil markets triggered by the fighting in the Middle East. Russian officials said Venezuela was discussed in the context of the global energy market as governments assess supply disruptions linked to the conflict.
