The US president has declined to confirm reports that the planned meeting in Budapest was placed on hold

The potential meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest should not be "wasted," US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday.

He made his comment after US media outlets reported that the summit in Budapest, agreed upon last week during a Putin-Trump phone call, had been placed on hold.

"I don't want to have a wasted meeting, I don't want to have a wasted time, so I'll see what happens," Trump told reporters at the Oval Office.

A journalist then asked the president why he thought the meeting "might be a wasted time."

Trump replied, "I didn't say it would. You never know what is going to happen. A lot of things are happening on the war front with Ukraine and Russia. We'll be notifying you over the next two days as to what we are doing."
