New Delhi, Oct. 26 -- US President Donald Trump said on Saturday he would not hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin unless the Russian leader showed genuine intent to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine.

"I'm going to have to know that we're going to make a deal. I'm not going to be wasting my time," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he headed to Asia.

"I've always had a great relationship with Vladimir Putin, but this has been very disappointing," the US leader said. "I thought this would have gotten done before peace in the Middle East."

On Wednesday, the United States slapped sanctions on Russia's two largest oil companies, saying that the talks with Vladimir Putin over Ukraine war don't go anywhere.
