WASHINGTON, May 1 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will speak by telephone with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. EDT/1630 GMT, the White House said on Monday night.
A senior Trump administration official said the two leaders would likely discuss the war in Syria, where Moscow backs the government of Bashar al-Assad and the United States supports rebels trying to overthrow him. (Reporting by Eric Beech and Steve Holland; Editing by Sandra Maler)
