(Reuters) -The United States has cancelled a planned Budapest summit between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin following Russia's firm stance on hardline demands regarding Ukraine, the Financial Times reported on Friday.
The decision came after a tense call between the two countries' top diplomats, the Financial Times said.
Reuters could not immediately verify the FT report.
