Trump May Cancel Meeting This Week with Putin; Due to Russia Capturing 3 Ukrainian Ships Nov.25

U.S. President Donald Trump says he may cancel a meeting scheduled with Russian President Vladimir Putin this week, as a result of a maritime clash between Russia and Ukraine, the BBC website reports today (November 28, 2018).

Trump said he was waiting for a "full report" after Russian ships fired on and seized three Ukrainian boats on November 25.

Ukraine described it as an "act of aggression" but Russia said the ships had illegally entered its waters.

 In reacting to the clash, the U.S. urged European nations to do more to support Ukraine and to impose tougher sanctions against Russia.
