Get ready for a diplomatic cliffhanger! The much-talked-about face-to-face between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest has been put on hold.
Why the Delay?
On October 21, a White House official announced the summit is on pause. Trump himself explained: "I don’t want to have a wasted meeting. I don’t want to have a wasted time, so I’ll see what happens." ⏳
From the Kremlin’s Corner
Meanwhile, the Kremlin says the timing is unclear and no dates have been set. It looks like both sides are playing it cool. 🕵️♂️
What’s at Stake?
This summit could have major ripple effects on global politics, markets and cross-border ties. Investors, academics and young entrepreneurs from Asia to Latin America are watching closely—because any shift in U.S.-Russia relations can move markets and shape international trends. 🌍
Next Steps
Will the meeting happen later this year? Or will leaders choose a new venue or format? One thing’s for sure: the world is on standby for the next chapter in this high-stakes dialogue.
