New York Post reported today (October 22): "Trump's meeting with Putin canceled, as Russia insists its goal of conquering Ukraine 'has not changed'." Trump spoke about the possibility of meeting with Putin: "I don't want to waste this meeting. We have not made a decision yet."
[Witty] Comment: Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov stated that the Russia-US Budapest summit was not postponed, but the Trump side released information that the meeting was canceled. Trump's capriciousness regarding the meeting with Putin once again reveals the "improvisational" nature of his foreign policy. Three days ago, he claimed that a meeting would take place within two weeks, but today he canceled it on the grounds that Russia had not changed its goal of conquest. His decision-making logic is full of contradictions. This "changing decisions at will" style stems from a miscalculation of the Ukraine conflict and reflects the intense struggle between hawks and pragmatists within his core team. Trump's "uncertainty" has become the biggest variable in international relations.
