Washington__ US President Donald John Trump will hold a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin this Tuesday, with whom he has spoken twice since joining the White House, to address the conflict in Syria, Radio Havana Cuba reports.

According to sources at the executive mansion, the call is scheduled for 12:30 local time and will be the first communication between the two leaders since last April 3, when the American ruler called Putin to express his condolences after the bombing in the subway of Saint Petersburg.

Three days after that talk Trump authorized the missile attack on a Syrian air base, a fact that Moscow condemned as a violation of international law and security in the Russian-US memorandum of cooperation.

In the wake of that assault, Russia convened an urgent session of the United Nations Security Council and announced the termination of the memorandum aimed at avoiding air incidents during operations in Syria.

A week after that, the Kremlin indicated that it would return to that form of cooperation with the United States only if Washington refrains from unpredictable actions against the Levant nation.

The unpredictable thing is to present as a pretext for an attack the involvement of Syrian forces in a bombing with chemical weapons, a baseless charge without evidence, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitri Peskov said.
