Trump says he did not want 'wasted meeting' after plan for Putin talks shelved
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump has said he did not want a "wasted meeting" after a plan to have face-to-face talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine were put on hold.The US president indicated that a key sticking point remained Moscow's refusal to cease fighting along the current front line, in remarks at the White House on Tuesday.Earlier, a White House official had said there were "no plans" for a Trump-Putin meeting "in the immediate future", after Trump said on Thursday that the two would hold talks in Budapest within two weeks.Key differences between US and Russian proposals for peace became increasingly clear this week, appearing to have dashed chances of a summit.Trump and Putin last met in Alaska in August, during a hastily organised summit...
