Trump-Putin Meeting Put on Ice Amid Ukraine Conflict

Plans for a meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin to discuss the Ukraine conflict are on hold, following a call between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The meeting was initially announced to take place in Budapest.

Plans for a high-profile meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to address the ongoing war in Ukraine have been indefinitely postponed, as revealed by a US official.

Originally announced the previous week, the meeting was scheduled to occur in Budapest, albeit without a set date.

The decision came after a phone conversation between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The official providing this information requested anonymity due to lack of authorization to speak publicly.

This postponement marks the latest instance of uncertainty in Trump's intermittent attempts to end a conflict that has endured for nearly four years.
