The 2025 Budapest summit (also known as the 2025 Russia–United States summit in Budapest or the Trump–Putin summit in Budapest) was a proposed summit between United States president Donald Trump and Russian president Vladimir Putin to take place in Budapest, Hungary. Trump had announced on October 16, 2025, that it would be held within two weeks, with the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war as the main topic of discussion. He announced on October 22 that he had cancelled the meeting over Russia's refusal to back down from its maximalist claims on Ukraine.

On November 7, while he was hosting the Hungarian prime-minister Viktor Orban in the White House, Trump said that a summit in Budapest could still take place. Later, Orban said the summit was still on the agenda, that the meeting had been postponed, but not cancelled. On November 11, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Russia was ready to discuss with the United States preparations for the summit "if and when the American colleagues return to their proposal."
