U.S. President Donald Trump has cancelled his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the upcoming G-20 meeting in Argentina, citing the failure of Russia to return the ships and crew from the incident with the Ukrainian navy in the Sea of Azov over the weekend.
Based on the fact that the ships and sailors have not been returned to Ukraine from Russia, I have decided it would be best for all parties concerned to cancel my previously scheduled meeting….

“We are flying to Argentina. So far, we have only seen the tweet and the media [on Trump cancelling the meeting with Putin]. We have no official information,” the Kremlin spokesman noted, reported Russian state news agency TASS.
“If this is so [Trump has canceled a meeting with Putin], the president [of Russia] will have a couple of additional hours on the program for useful meetings on the sidelines of the summit.”
