U.S. President Donald Trump has officially invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the next G20 summit, which is scheduled to take place in Miami, Florida.
The invitation has reportedly created tensions with several Western countries and U.S. allies, including France, the United Kingdom and Canada, which have opposed Putin’s return to the G20 without prior concessions from Moscow.
The Trump administration has defended the invitation, arguing that resolving major international conflicts requires dialogue with leaders and governments with whom the United States strongly disagrees.
Putin’s potential attendance would mark a significant development in relations between Russia, the United States and other G20 members amid continuing disagreements over the war in Ukraine.
