U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday cited the current Ukraine crisis for cancelling a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin that was scheduled for during the G20 summit in Argentina. Shortly after Trump posted the tweet, a Kremlin spokesperson said it had not been notified the meeting was off. I think it's a very good time to have the meeting," Trump said. Russia said Ukraine didn't have permission to pass between Russia's mainland and the Crimean Peninsula, but Ukraine has maintained its vessels abided by maritime laws. The administration of then President Barack Obama imposed sanctions on Russia for its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.
