Fox News
U.S. Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff said President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will likely speak on the phone this week.
"The president uses the timeframe weeks, and I don't disagree with him. I am really hopeful that we're going to see some real progress here," Witkoff said. "Nobody expected progress this fast. This is a highly, very complicated situation, and yet we're bridging the gap between two sides. So, lots of things that remain to be discussed, but I think the two presidents are going to have a really good and positive discussion this week."
