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.

But he seemed to reverse course as he left the White House on Thursday, telling reporters that the meeting with Putin “probably” was still on and that he planned to read a “finalized report” on the clash between Russian and Ukrainian forces while on the plane.

Early in the flight, however, Trump, who has a propensity to change his mind, tweeted: “Based on the fact that the ships and sailors have not been returned to Ukraine from Russia, I have decided it would be best for all parties concerned to cancel my previously scheduled meeting in Argentina with President Vladimir Putin.”

“I look forward to a meaningful Summit again as soon as this situation is resolved!” Trump added.
