CNN: Trump abruptly cancels planned Putin meeting
Washington (CNN)US President Donald Trump on Thursday abruptly canceled his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin two days before they were scheduled to sit down on the sidelines of the G20 summit.
The President pinned the cancellation on Russia's refusal to release Ukrainian Navy ships and sailors seized during a maritime confrontation between the two countries on Sunday.
But while Russia's position on the incident has not changed since it attacked Ukrainian ships on Sunday, the President's abrupt move came after his longtime former attorney Michael Cohen leveled fresh allegations in court about Trump's business dealings with Russia.

WNU Editor: I was on a Russian radio program this morning where the question was asked to me on what did I expect from the Trump - Putin meeting at the G20 this weekend. I told the host that considering what was happening in Washington, there was a 50 - 50 chance that President Trump would cancel his meeting. The host and two other guests did not believe that was going to happen. Surprise .... surprise .... it has happened. I think cancelling these talks is a mistake. There are enough tensions in the world, and if no one is talking it is only get worse.

Putin isn't listen to Americans at the moment, he is too busy broadening the split between the USA and its Western Alliance heavyweights, Germany and France. Putin won't listen about Ukraine, he doesn't have too. He won't listen over Syria, he doesn't have too. Trump won't listen over INF, he doesn't have too. The price of oil can't be negotiated because Trump doesn't control American production.
What's left to discuss?
Putin will put Trump in timeout corner for this
