President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin discussed the Mueller report, Venezuela and North Korea during a phone call on Friday, the White House said. 

The two talked on the phone for more than an hour, according to White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The leaders also discussed trade and a potential nuclear agreement including China, Sanders said. 

Regarding the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller, which concluded in March, Sanders said  "both leaders knew there was no collusion." The discussion on the matter was brief, she said.

Trump and Putin have spoken on the phone more than half a dozen times, according to official readouts from the White House. Last year, Putin said the two spoke "regularly."
