The two spoke by telephone for the first time since the US launched air strikes against Syria nearly a month ago, straining relations.
White House and Kremlin statements suggested a productive conversation.
Other topics discussed included North Korea and the timing of a future face-to-face meeting.
President Trump ordered cruise missile strikes on a Syrian government airbase following the deaths of more than 80 people in a suspected chemical weapons attack on the Syrian rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun on April 4th.
However in a statement yesterday, President Putin called for a full investigation into the incident and condemned "any use of chemical weapons".
