U.S. President Donald Trump unexpectedly canceled his planned summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on October 22, stating simply that "it didn’t feel right." The announcement put a sudden halt to what could have been a landmark meeting on U.S.-Russia relations.
On the topic of supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, Trump was equally clear. "They’re highly complex, so the only way a Tomahawk is going to be shot is if we shot it, and we’re not going to do that," he said, ruling out direct U.S. involvement in missile launches.
The dual decisions underscore a cautious stance on diplomacy and military engagement, leaving global citizens on edge for the next move. As debates swirl over international security and the role of summits in shaping policy, Trump’s remarks serve as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of high-level diplomacy.
