Putin and Trump were set to meet on Saturday at the summit of world leaders in Argentina, the Kremlin said this week.

Kremlin touts Trump-Putin meeting — before Trump cancels it
Amie Ferris-Rotman, John Wagner

MOSCOW —President Trump on Thursday canceled a one-on-one meeting with Russian leader Vladi­mir Putin at the Group of 20 summit in Argentina, a decision he announced just hours after the Kremlin had publicly confirmed the time and date.

In a tweet from Air Force One en route to the summit in Buenos Aires, Trump blamed the cancellation on Russia’s seizure of Ukrainian ships and sailors over the weekend.

Trump had previously cast the Buenos Aires sit-down into doubt, telling The Washington Post in a Tuesday interview that he might forgo meeting Putin after Russia’s naval action sparked global condemnation and a sharp escalation in tensions between the neighbors.

Finally, I was thinking, he'd look pretty horrible if this meeting had gone through.

Big deal.  He wrote an elaborate letter canceling the NK summit after Kim made fun of Pence, then had it, anyway, and ‘fell in love.’

I believe another story is that Putin and the Crown Prince warmly welcomed each other. I think there are pix of that too.

If this info hasn't been posted yet, I am.  I won't make a separate thread.
