Recent reports indicate that Russian President Vladimir Putin is considering the effectiveness of his Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, amid the cancellation of a planned summit with former US President Donald Trump in Budapest. The breakdown of the summit has sparked speculation about Lav’ts ability to navigate complex international relations, particularly in light of shifting US policies and geopolitical tensions. Analysts suggest that the decision to cancel the summit may reflect broader concerns about the current state of US-Russia relations and the challenges faced by Russia’s diplomatic corps.
