Trump administration invites Putin to attend G20 summit in Miami
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the summit would give the Russian president an opportunity to engage with global leaders.
The Trump administration has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the upcoming G20 summit in Miami, according to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Rubio said the summit would present an opportunity for Putin to engage directly with other world leaders, framing the invitation as part of broader diplomatic engagement rather than an endorsement of any specific policy position.
The invitation comes amid ongoing international attention on Russia's war in Ukraine, with diplomatic efforts to address the conflict continuing on multiple fronts, including discussions taking place this week on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
A potential appearance by Putin at a major multilateral gathering such as the G20 would mark a notable moment, given the diplomatic isolation Russia has faced from many Western countries since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
It remains unclear whether Putin will accept the invitation, and further details about the summit's agenda and other confirmed attendees are expected to be announced closer to the event in December.
