US President Donald Trump first after the inauguration called Russian leader Vladimir Putin. About this writes The Washington Post.

During the conversation, the details of which have not yet been reported, the Oval office was also attended by US Vice-President Mike Pence, National Security Advisor Mike Flynn, White House press secretary Sean Spicer, the head of the White House apparatus Rains Pribus and strategic adviser Stephen Bannon.

Before the conversation with Putin, Trump held 45-minute negotiations with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The interlocutors, in particular, discussed Russia and the conflict in Ukraine.

For the first time, the presidents of Russia and the United States talked on the phone on November 14. Then the leaders of the two countries agreed that Russian-American relations are in "unsatisfactory condition." Putin and Trump agreed to conduct an “active” joint work on their normalization.

Trump's inauguration took place on January 20. After that, the US President signed several decrees: on the country's withdrawal from the Transstoocian partnership, on the reorganization of the armed forces, on the beginning of the construction of the wall on the border with Mexico, as well as on the "extremal selection" of migrants entering the country.
