US President Barack Obama on Wednesday canceled his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, ABC News reports.
President Obama will still attend the G20 economic summit in St. Petersburg, but a top White House official said the president has no plans to hold one-on-one talks with the Russian president during his visit to the country.
The decision was made as the United States is getting ever more angry over Russia's reluctance to extradite former CIA employee Edward Snowden and frustrated over Moscow's stubbornness on such key issues as missile defense and human rights.
