Russian President Vladimir Putin called US President Donald Trump to thank him for intelligence that helped prevent terrorist acts as the country prepares to celebrate the New Year’s holidays.
While the Kremlin didn’t provide any details in its statement, the Federal Security Service, or FSB, said it arrested two people in St. Petersburg who were planning attacks during the holidays based on information from the US.
“That more than eloquently speaks of the effectiveness,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday, referring to a statement from the FSB in response to a question about cooperation with the US. He didn’t elaborate.
The White House said in a statement that Putin called Trump “to thank him for information the United States provided that helped foil a potential holiday terrorist attack in Russia.”
“Both presidents committed to continuing counterterrorism cooperation between the two countries,” the White House said in the statement.
