Caption: Trump and Putin Discuss Iran War as U.S. Considers Easing Russian Oil Sanctions. Donald Trump held a phone call with Vladimir Putin to discuss the war in Iran and possible peace efforts in Ukraine. The conversation came as global energy markets reacted to the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran which disrupted oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz and pushed prices sharply higher. Trump said the call was productive and urged Putin to help bring an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine. Putin warned that the conflict with Iran could trigger a wider global energy crisis and affect oil flows from the Gulf region. The Trump administration is considering easing sanctions on Russian oil to stabilize global energy supplies after disruptions in the Middle East. Possible measures include broad sanctions relief or allowing countries such as India to buy Russian oil without facing U.S. penalties. Officials say the move could boost global oil supplies but may complicate efforts to limit Moscow’s revenue for its war in Ukraine. Kremlin officials described the Trump–Putin call as “very substantial,” suggesting it could shape future cooperation between Washington and Moscow.
