President Barack Obama has canceled a planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.
The move comes amid heightened tension between the United States and Russia over the latter’s decision to give asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. Appearing on “The Tonight Show” on Tuesday, Obama expressed disappointment in Russia over the Snowden saga, but said he still intended to attend next month’s G-20 Summit in St. Petersburg.
