President Donald Trump will speak over the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday afternoon, according to the White House schedule.
It is the first time the two leaders will speak since Russia denounced the United States’ missile strike on a Syrian airfield.
Trump praised Putin on the campaign trail, but following the gas attack in Syria that prompted the U.S. missile strike, Trump sang a different tune about Russia.
“We’re not getting along with Russia at all,” Trump said last month. “We may be at an all-time low.”
The FBI and congressional committees are also investigating whether there are any ties between Trump associates and Russia.
