This just in! President Trump is on his way to the G-20 summit, and he abruptly cancelled his scheduled meeting with Vlad.
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….

….in Argentina with President Vladimir Putin. I look forward to a meaningful Summit again as soon as this situation is resolved!

He JUST made that decision, too. How do I know that? Because prior to his departure, he told reporters that he would probably meet with Putin.
“I will probably be meeting with President Putin. We haven’t terminated that meeting,” Trump said earlier.
“I was thinking about it, but they’d like to have it. I think it’s a very good time to have the meeting. I’m getting a full report on the plane as to what happened with respect to that and that will determine whether I will be meeting,” he added.
I guess he decided it was a bad idea.
A spokesman for Putin said the Kremlin had no official information about Trump’s decision to cancel the meeting.
They probably found out about it on Twitter first, just like the rest of us.
