[UPDATE-Oct. 24] President Trump Cancels Meeting With Putin In Hungary

Trump will not meet with Putin in Hungary as Russia rebuffs cease-fire plans

Just days after he floated another round of Ukraine peace talks, President Trump has called off plans to meet with Vladimir Putin. A White House official confirmed that Trump is not meeting his Russian counterpart “in the immediate future” after Trump suggested a summit in Hungary, ABC reported.

Trump’s reversal comes after a phone call on Monday between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

“Secretary Rubio and Foreign Minister Lavrov had a productive call. Therefore, an additional in person meeting between the Secretary and Foreign Minister is not necessary, and there are no plans for President Trump to meet with President Putin in the immediate future,” the White House official said.
