A bipartisan group of 14 US senators has urged President Donald Trump to withdraw the invitation extended to Russian President Vladimir Putin for the G20 summit scheduled to take place in Miami in December, according to Ukrinform.
The senators' request comes amid continued Western scrutiny of Russia's actions in its ongoing war against Ukraine, though the report did not detail the specific arguments the lawmakers raised in their appeal.
It remains unclear whether the White House will act on the senators' request or proceed with Putin's planned attendance at the summit.
The G20 gathering, one of the highest-profile forums for global economic and political coordination, would mark a rare in-person appearance by Putin on US soil if his invitation stands.
