Trump contradicts Kremlin, says he will not meet Putin this weekend

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he will not meet with President Vladimir Putin of Russia this weekend, contradicting the Kremlin, which said earlier in the day that the two would have a discussion while in Paris.

Trump said he expects to sit down with Putin later in the month in Buenos Aires on the sidelines of the annual Group of 20 meeting. French officials had asked the Americans and Russians not to hold the meeting for fear that it would overshadow their event marking the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
