President Barack Obama has cancelled talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin that were due to be held next month, highlighting the deteriorating relations between the two world powers following the saga of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. The White House said in a statement on Wednesday that Mr Obama would attend the G20 summit in St Petersburg on September 5 and 6 but would skip a bilateral summit with Mr Putin in Moscow, in part because of “Russia’s disappointing decision” last week to award Mr Snowden temporary asylum.
