President Donald Trump downplayed on Thursday the decision by his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to not show up to hold peace talks with Ukraine in Turkey.
Asked if he was disappointed by press during a meeting in Qatar, Trump said he wasn't. "I actually said, why would he go if I'm not going? Because I wasn't going to go. I wasn't planning to go. I would go, but I wasn't planning to go. And I said, I don't think he's going to go if I don't go. And that's turned out to be right."
