Trump slams Putin over Ukraine war, cancels Budapest summit in policy shift
US President Donald Trump has openly criticised Russian leader Vladimir Putin over the ongoing Ukraine conflict. Speaking recently, he admitted frustration with Putin’s stance and cancelled a planned summit in Budapest. His comments came during a Saudi Arabia–US investment forum and aboard Air Force One in early November 2025.
Trump initially believed resolving the Russia-Ukraine war would be straightforward. He had cited his personal relationship with Putin as a key factor in finding a solution. However, his tone shifted in recent days.
The cancellation of the Budapest summit marks a clear setback in US-Russia relations. Trump’s conditions for future talks suggest a harder line on Moscow’s role in Ukraine. For now, diplomatic progress on the conflict appears stalled.
