MOSCOW ¨C U.S. President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, discussed on Monday the war in Iran and prospects for peace in Ukraine, just hours after the Kremlin chief warned that a global energy crisis threatened the world economy.
The U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran triggered the biggest spike in oil prices since the turmoil following Russia¡¯s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, as Gulf producers reduce output after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
The Kremlin said Trump called Putin ¡ª their first telephone call this year ¡ª and they discussed Russian ideas for a speedy end to the conflict in Iran, the military situation in Ukraine and the impact of Venezuela on the global oil market.
