Putin Invited to G20 Summit in Miami in December, Rubio Says
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the summit offers Vladimir Putin a chance to engage with world leaders beyond the US president.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been invited to the G20 Summit set to take place in Miami in December, according to comments from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reported by TASS.
Rubio said he believes the summit represents an opportunity for Putin to engage not only with the US president but also with other world leaders attending the gathering.
The G20 brings together the world's major economies for discussions on global economic and political issues, and the venue and guest list for each year's summit are typically confirmed by the host nation in the months beforehand.
Putin's potential attendance would come amid ongoing international attention on Russia's war in Ukraine, which continues to shape diplomatic engagement between Moscow and Western governments.
Neither the Kremlin nor the White House had issued a separate statement confirming Putin's attendance at the time of the report.
