Trump to invite Russia's Putin to G20 summit in Miami, WaPo reports

Russia says the invitation could bring President Vladimir Putin back to the summit, though officials say no decision has been made on who will attend.

  • On yesterday, Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Pankin told TASS that Russia received an invitation to participate at the "highest level" in the U.S.-hosted G20 summit scheduled for December 14-15, 2026, in Miami, Florida.
  • Since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin has skipped G20 summits, with Russia's role remaining subdued; an International Criminal Court arrest warrant has further limited his travel to Western nations.
  • President Donald Trump stated he supports including Putin, calling it "probably very helpful," while criticizing former president Barack Obama for removing Russia from the G-8 following the 2014 invasion of Ukraine.
  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed "no such decisions have been made yet" regarding who will represent Russia, with Moscow expected to decide closer to the December summit.
  • The invitation reflects Trump's broader effort to revive relations with Russia and end the war in Ukraine, though his previous attempts have delivered few tangible results despite multiple Moscow-Kyiv negotiations.
