dn.se (Swedish)

The United States has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit in Miami this December, according to Reuters. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the invitation during a speech at the UN on Wednesday. Russia is an official G20 member, but Putin has not attended the group's meetings since 2019. President Trump was reported to be preparing an invitation to Putin over the summer. The invitation marks a significant diplomatic shift, as Western leaders have largely isolated Putin since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The summit will be the first G20 hosted by the US since Trump returned to office.
