Kremlin officials said on Nov. 28 that they expect a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to go ahead at the G20 summit in Argentina later this week, despite Trump saying he may cancel it over Russia’s seizure of three Ukrainian ships.

Trump said on Nov. 27 that he might cancel the meeting after the Russian navy’s seizure of three Ukrainian vessels off the coast of Crimea and detention of Ukrainian crew members. Trump said, however, that he was still awaiting a “full report” from his national security team about the incident.
