Trump cancels planned meeting with his Russian counterpart

US President Donald Trump has abruptly cancelled the planned meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin over tension on Ukraine.

He announced his decision on Twitter, barely an hour after he had told reporters that he would meet Putin on the sidelines of G-20 summit in Buenos Aires and said it was a very good time to have the meeting.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, responding to Donald Trump's decision said, cancellation means that the discussion on key international issues is being postponed indefinitely.
