Trump-Putin Summit Canceled Over Russian Demands

A highly anticipated summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, initially slated for next month in Budapest, has been abruptly canceled. The decision stems from Moscow's submission of what Washington has deemed an "unacceptable" list of conditions. Reports indicate that Russia sought significant concessions, including the easing of Western sanctions and acknowledgment of its territorial claims. US officials found these demands to be unfulfillable, leading to the cancellation of the high-level meeting intended to de-escalate global tensions.
