 "Vladimir Putin jilted as Donald Trump says no to formal meeting at APEC")
Vladimir Putin is feeling jilted. The last time he and US President Donald Trump met, in July at the G-20 summit, Trump couldn’t seem to get enough of the Russian president. They met behind closed doors for more than two hours, without an official note-taker. It yielded a limited Syrian cease-fire.
Trump also spent unscheduled time with him at a dinner hosted by German Chancellor Angela Merkel. There was also another brief meeting.

Kremlin officials expected the 2 men to hold a formal meeting in Danang, Vietnam, where Asia-Pacific leaders are gathering for a summit.
