After months of exchanging long-distance compliments, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin sit down on Monday for their first ever summit. Neither side expects major breakthroughs from the talks in Finnish capital Helsinki beyond warm words, an agreement to begin repairing battered US-Russia relations, and maybe a deal to start talks on issues such as nuclear arms control and Syria.According to Reuters data, ahead of his first official meeting with Putin, Trump made over 200 phone calls to 40 world leaders until July 6, 2018, since taking charge in January 2017. Putin, on the other hand, in the same period, made 190 phone calls to 50 world leaders over the same period.Putin, in fact, made the most phone calls - 27 - to Recep Tayyip Erdogan, president of Turkey, a NATO partner, followed by Kazak President Nursultan Nazarbayev and French President Emmanuel Macron. Trump's most called person was Macron , with 22 calls between them, followed by British Prime Minister Theresa May.Trump and Putin have spoken to each other eight times, since the former assumed office - the first time soon after Trump was inaugurated as president when Putin called to congratulate him with the call lasting an hour.Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it seems, is not as high on the priority list of either president.
