Another reason why there will NOT be a trump/Putin summit is the fact that Putin is a war criminal. Putin cannot easily get to Budapest without going through airspace of countries who want to arrest him

Poland warned Russias president Vladimir Putin on Tuesday against travelling through its airspace for a summit in Hungary with US president Donald Trump, saying it could be forced to execute an international arrest warrant if he did, Reuters reports.
Bulgaria, however, would be willing to let Putin use its airspace if the summit is held in Hungary, foreign minister Georg Georgiev was quoted as saying.
Polands foreign minister Radosław Sikorski told Radio Rodzina:
I cannot guarantee that an independent Polish court wont order the government to escort such an aircraft down to hand the suspect to the court in The Hague.
And, therefore, if this summit is to take place, hopefully with the participation of the victim of the aggression, the aircraft will use a different route.
The ICC warrant obligates the courts member states to arrest Putin if he sets foot on their territory.
