He was still going to meet until his ex-lawyer Cohen said Trump had been discussing a hotel in Moscow during the election for President. Cohen pled guilty for saying that the discussions ended before Trump's campaign. Too embarassing to be seek with Putin so soon after that?

Trump also cancelled meetings with Turkey and South Korea.

Trump cancels meeting at G20 with Putin over Ukraine tensions

President Trump announced he is nixing a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit in Argentina on Saturday, in the wake of the seizure of Ukrainian ships and crews in the Black Sea by Russia.

"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,” he tweeted Thursday.

“I look forward to a meaningful Summit again as soon as this situation is resolved!” he added.



Russia still wants to meet though.


The Kremlin told Russian state media that they have no official information beyond the Trump tweet.

"If this is so, the president [of Russia] will have a couple of additional hours on the program for useful meetings on the sidelines of the summit," Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

[TER]

I hope Trump does meet with Putin. It would be good to have stable and productive relations with Russia.

Despite what the fake mainstream news media outlets spew as propaganda, Russia is not the real enemy of the US.

Our biggest enemies are the globalist traitors within the country, and the elite inter-national power brokers who fund them.

Russian official questions 'true reason' Trump canceled meeting with Putin

BUENOS AIRES – Russian President Vladimir Putin's government questioned the "true reason" President Donald Trump canceled their scheduled meeting at the G-20 summit in Argentina this weekend, suggesting the decision had more to do with U.S. politics than growing tensions between Moscow and Ukraine.

Trump abruptly canceled the meeting with Putin that had been planned for Saturday less than an hour after he told reporters he would "probably" go through with it. Trump's stated reason for calling the encounter off: A clash in the Sea of Azov in which Russia fired and then seized three Ukrainian ships.

But the decision also came hours after Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about plans to build a Trump Tower in Russia. The revelation ran counter to the president's long-stated position that he had no business dealings in Russia, and it threatened to overshadow the scheduled meeting with Putin.

"Was Ukraine’s provocation in the Kerch Strait the true reason for the cancellation? We have heard the official explanation and taken note of it," Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told state media on Friday. "But is it true? I think the true reason is rooted in the domestic political situation in the United States, which is crucial for decision-making."

The White House disputed that assertion.

“The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax, which is hopefully now nearing an end, is doing very well. Unfortunately, it probably does undermine our relationship with Russia. However, the reason for our canceled meeting is Ukraine," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.

"Hopefully, that will be resolved soon so that productive conversations can begin.”

Trump reiterated that argument during a meeting with Japanese Prime Minster Shinzo Abe, telling reporters that the Ukrainian situation was the "sole reason" he canceled the meeting.

Though White House aides hoped the G-20 meeting would be focused on Trump’s trade policies, the president has instead had to respond to the developments involving Cohen. Trump said Friday that he had once “lightly looked” at doing a real estate project in Russia, despite years of denying he had any business ties in the country.

He decried the effort, which ultimately fizzled, as “very legal” and “very cool.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin praised Trump, pummeled Poroshenko, and poured cold water on oil market bulls' hopes in a statement following the G-20 meetings.
Putin began by confirming what White House Press Secretary Sanders noted earlier - he and Trump had spoken broefly on the sidelines of the G-20 and discussed the Ukraine incident. Putin added that "Trump is not afraid of [him]" and expressed "pity that he could not have a full format meeting with President Trump" pointing out that "Russian needs to maintain dialog with US," and "hopes to meet [Trump] when US is ready."

Putin also mentioned Russia's relationship with the United Kingdom, noting that "UK is an important partner for Russia" adding that he "hopes to overcome differences, to normalize relations with UK in the near future."

Some Global 20 activities are being cancelled out of respect for GHW Bush family, so this meeting might get cancelled too.

Trump had already cancelled meetings with Putin, Turkey, and South Korea. Should have lots of free time (used some of that to move up his meeting with China's Xi to earlier in the day).

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Saturday he had explained his position in the Ukraine crisis to US leader Donald Trump at a G20 summit, and remained open to proper talks.Trump had cancelled a scheduled bilateral meeting with Putin in Argentina, but White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said the two did have an "informal" conversation when they crossed paths at a summit dinner Friday.
Putin, briefing reporters after the summit concluded, characterised the encounter as more significant.
"We spoke standing up. I replied to his questions about the incident in the Black Sea," Putin said, after Russia seized three Ukrainian vessels and their crews off Crimea.
