 Trump-Putin meeting canceled after Russia insists goal to conquer Ukraine ‘has not changed’

WASHINGTON — President Trump no longer plans to hold a second in-person summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin “in the immediate future” after Russia rejected Trump’s demand to stop the war in Ukraine along the current battle lines.

“I don’t want to have a wasted meeting,” Trump told reporters Tuesday afternoon when asked why he axed the sitdown. “I don’t want to have a waste of time.”

The cancellation followed a Monday call between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, which a source familiar with the conversation said demonstrated the Kremlin’s unwillingness to commit to Trump’s strategy for peace.

“Secretary Rubio and Foreign Minister Lavrov had a productive call,” a White House official told The Post on Tuesday. “Therefore, an additional-in-person meeting between the Secretary and Foreign Minister is not necessary, and there are no plans for President Trump to meet with President Putin in the immediate future.”

Hours later, NATO announced the alliance’s Secretary General Mark Rutte — who shares a warm relationship with Trump — would be in Washington Tuesday and Wednesday for previously unannounced discussions.

No further information was provided about the nature of Rutte’s visit, but the alliance has been focused on ending the war in Ukraine since the conflict began.

Move the battle lines closer to Rostov and see what Putin says.

If I were to place a bet, I'd say that things aren't going to end well for Putin.

Something strange has happened between now and last Friday when Trump was trying to bully Zelensky into surrender and was then crowing about his forthcoming summit in Budapest with Putin.

Now, he's calling it a "waste of time?"

And that call between Rubio and Lavrov could not have been as "productive" as the White House claims if that meeting was suddenly canceled.

So what changed?
