[Putin: Meeting with Trump in Budapest is more like a postponement rather than a cancellation] According to Golden Finance, citing CCTV News, on October 23 local time, regarding U.S. President Trump's latest remarks about the U.S.-Russia leaders' meeting, Putin said that during his phone call with Trump on the 16th, it was Trump himself who proposed holding the meeting, and the choice of Budapest, the capital of Hungary, as the location was also Trump's suggestion. Putin stated that it would be a mistake to handle this meeting hastily without adequate preparation, which could lead to the meeting failing to achieve its expected results. Putin noted that given the current situation, the U.S. President decided to cancel or postpone the meeting, but more accurately, Trump indicated a postponement of the meeting. Putin reiterated that dialogue is always preferable to any form of confrontation and far superior to war. Therefore, the Russian side has consistently advocated for dialogue, and this position remains unchanged to this day.
