Putin is believed to have called the president-elect personally following his shocking victory to discuss the best way to tackle ISIS in Syria.

The Russian leader is believed to be willing to assist in the removal of ISIS from Syria "on the basis of mutual respect, non-intervention into each other's internal affairs".

The two men are said to have remained in regular contact ever since.

Syria president Bashar Assad previously backed Trump and Putin to battle ISIS in Syria.

He said: "(If Trump) fights the terrorists, it is clear that we will be a natural ally, together with the Russians, Iranians and many other countries who want to defeat the terrorists."

Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, has also held private discussions with diplomats and politicians, with one of the main focuses being the war against ISIS.
