President Donald Trump said his relationship with Vladimir Putin “only matters when we get things done,” underscoring that personal ties are secondary to concrete outcomes in U.S.–Russia dealings. Trump disclosed he made the remarks during a phone call with the Russian leader held on Monday, shortly after hosting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European heads of government at the White House. The call followed last week’s Alaska Summit, where senior U.S. and Russian officials discussed security issues. Trump, speaking to reporters on Tuesday, stressed that progress on goals such as curbing violence and ending destruction would determine the value of any rapport with Putin.
