The Russian president’s presence would be “very helpful,” the US leader said
President Donald Trump said that he would like to see his counterpart, Vladimir Putin, at the G20 summit in Miami, even as he expressed doubt that the Russian leader would actually come.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that the White House intends to invite Putin to the G20 summit in December, while a senior administration official said Russia would be welcome at both ministerial meetings and the leaders’ summit.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Pankin said there was already an invitation for Russia to participate “at the highest level,” but it is too early to say who will attend. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov likewise said Moscow will decide closer to the date who will represent Russia.
