US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he has decided to cancel his planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump explained that the decision was driven by his belief that the meeting would not yield the desired outcomes. ‘We canceled the meeting with President Putin,’ Trump stated. ‘It just didn’t feel right to me.’ He further elaborated, ‘It didn’t feel like we were going to get to the place we have to get. So I canceled it, but we’ll do it in the future.’ The cancellation comes just a week after Trump revealed plans to meet Putin in Budapest, Hungary, following a phone conversation between the two leaders. However, by Tuesday, Trump had already expressed doubts about the meeting’s effectiveness, calling it ‘a waste of time.’ The abrupt change in plans underscores the ongoing complexities in US-Russia relations and raises questions about the future of diplomatic engagements between the two nations.
