Trump's meeting with Putin in Budapest cancelled after phone call 'tourned sour'

Donald Trump will no longer meet Vladimir Putin in Hungary after a phone call between negotiators "turned sour". An anonymous offical confirmed the meeting was off after a call between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The US president has not yet commented publicly about the change of plans, while Kremlin pokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that "preparation is needed, serious preparation" before a meeting.

A White House offical said there are "no plans" for a meeting between the two presidents "in the immediate future", but did not give any more information. Mr Trump announced the now cancelled meeting with Putin last Thursday, "to see if we can bring this 'inglorious' war, between Russia and Ukraine, to an end".
