Bromance between the two world leaders blossomed in the months leading up to Trump’s Brexit-style election win last week.

Now the macho pair have cemented their “strong alliance” after chatting on the horn on Monday night just days after the billionaire’s historic win.

The crux of their conversation was said to be about their plan to tackle terrorism in the Middle East.

It comes after Trump vowed to join forces with Putin and President Assad in Syria to crush the jihadi virus once and for all.

According to Moscow, Putin said he was ready to form a strong alliance with Trump and the US “based on the principles of equality, mutual respect and non-interference in the internal affairs of each other”.

Although many leaders recoiled in horror at Trump’s election win, Putin hopes it will allow him greater freedom to achieve his military goals in Syria.

In a statement from the Kremlin news agency, Trump and Putin spoke about “constructive cooperation” to defeat “international terrorism and extremism”.

Putin will continue “contact by telephone” and “work towards meeting in person”, Moscow added.

The statement said: “During the call, the two leaders discussed a range of issues including the threats and challenges facing the United States and Russia, strategic economic issues and the historical US-Russia relationship that dates back over 200 years.

“President-elect Trump noted to President Putin that he is very much looking forward to having a strong and enduring relationship with Russia and the people of Russia.”

Along with his domestic vision, there is still confusion over Trump’s foreign policy.

But Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Trump shares a “phenomenally similar” foreign policy stance with Putin.

The coming together of the two leaders marks a U-turn in relations between the two superpowers after years of frosty relations.

In a statement, Trump's team said: "President-elect Trump noted to President Putin that he is very much looking forward to having a strong and enduring relationship with Russia and the people of Russia."

It comes as Theresa May is set to stamp her foot down on Trump to save Britain’s crumbling “special relationship" with the US.
