US President Donald Trump downplayed a second summit with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, Tuesday just as the Budapest sit-down was put on hold amid an impasse over a long-elusive Ukraine ceasefire.
"I don't want to have a wasted meeting. I don't want to have a waste of time. So I'll see what happens," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, where he was hosting a Diwali celebration.
