US, Russia agree to increased diplomacy on Syria
None
The Kremlin says Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump agreed to step up US-Russian diplomatic efforts on Syria.
The Kremlin says the two leaders agreed in a telephone call Tuesday that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will intensify their efforts to bring about a cease-fire, with the goal of beginning a real peace process in Syria.
The Kremlin characterized the call as "business-like" and "constructive," saying that Trump and Putin also discussed holding their first in-person meeting in July on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Germany.
