The United States invites President Vladimir Putin to attend a G20 meeting in December, according to multiple reports. The invitation is described as part of efforts that could also include a possible face-to-face summit between Putin and US President Donald Trump.
Russian state-linked reporting cites Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying Russia is “grateful and appreciative” for the invitation. Other outlets frame the same invitation as an opportunity for direct US-Russia engagement at the G20, while noting uncertainty about whether any bilateral summit actually takes place.
Across the coverage, there is general agreement on the main point: Washington extends an invitation to Putin for the December G20 meeting. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis—some focus on the G20 attendance element, while others highlight the prospect of a separate, potential Trump-Putin meeting alongside the summit process.
