Why the Trump-Putin summit fell apart
Update: 2025-10-22
Description
Donald Trump's planned summit with Vladimir Putin is cancelled. Here's why.
--
Less than a week after Donald Trump offered to meet Vladimir Putin in Budapest, the proposed summit has already fallen apart.
Officially, "there's no need" for the two presidents to meet, since their respective foreign ministers are conducting conversations.
But what's really behind the cancellation?
And what on earth is Donald Trump up to in Venezuela? Seven extra-judicial attacks on civilian boats, dozens dead without trial, and now massing troops and weaponry in the Caribbean.
Is this really about "narco-terrorism", or is something more sinister afoot?
Katie Stallard and Freddie Hayward discuss Trump's foreign policy on the New Statesman podcast.
