US President Donald Trump says he would like Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the G20 summit in Miami this December, but he does not yet know whether Putin will accept the US invitation.
Ukrainian outlets report Trump’s comments to reporters, noting that he frames the invitation as an open possibility while acknowledging uncertainty about Putin’s plans. Kyiv Post adds that Trump’s statements come amid wider diplomatic discussion, including criticism from EU officials over Washington’s outreach to Moscow. Other reporting also points to mixed signals from the Kremlin about whether Putin will attend, leaving the outcome unclear ahead of the summit.
Taken together, the sources agree that Trump publicly expresses support for Putin’s presence at the G20, while the key question—whether the Russian leader will attend—remains unanswered.
