    Obama cancels meeting with Putin over Snowden asylum tensions

    Relations between the United States and Russia deteriorated further on Wednesday when
    Barack Obama abandoned a presidential summit with Vladimir Putin that was due to be held
    next month, amid fury in Washington over (7) Moscow's decision to grant asylum to the NSA
    whistleblower Edward Snowden.

    State Department (8) spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the decision to abandon the summit was
    made after a unanimous decision by the White House national security council. A meeting
    between defence secretary Chuck Hagel, secretary of state John Kerry and their Russian
    counterparts will go ahead in Washington on Friday as planned.

    In a separate announcement, the White House said Obama will visit Sweden instead, travelling
    to Stockholm the day before the St Petersburg summit. "Sweden is (9) a close friend of ours,"
    it said in a statement.

    The decision to cancel the meeting was greeted with little surprise in Moscow, where analysts
    and lawmakers have been predicting such a step. Presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said the
    Kremlin was disappointed that Obama cancelled the meeting with Putin, state (10) news
    agency RIA-Novosti reported. "It's obvious that this decision is connected to the situation with
    the American intelligence services employee Snowden, which was not created by us," he said.
