President Trump has decided to cancel his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which was expected to happen at the G20 summit in Argentina.
In a series of tweets, the president said based on the fact the ships and sailors have not been returned to Ukraine from Russia, he decided it would be best for everyone to cancel the meeting with Putin.

However, he said he looks forward to meeting with him again once the issue is resolved.
This comes after the president said he would probably meet with Putin, but would make a final decision after reviewing documents over the issue with Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian leaders are now turning to NATO for help.
