Trump Cancels Planned Meet With Putin

President Trump is canceling a planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit in Argentina.  In a tweet aboard Air Force One, Trump cited Russian aggressions in Ukraine.  He said Russia has not returned Ukrainian ships and sailors after naval skirmishes.  The two-day summit starts tomorrow in Buenos Aires.  A short time before the tweet, Trump said the Putin meeting would "probably" happen.  The President did say he'll have trade talks with the Chinese leader, but he did not set up a meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince.  The prince is under growing international scrutiny after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.  Trump has seemed skeptical to link the prince to the murder.
