14 Senators Urge Trump to Bar Putin From December G-20 Summit
3 articles · Updated · The Washington Post · Sep 25
Summary
A bipartisan group of 14 senators pressed President Donald Trump on Thursday to withdraw Vladimir Putin’s invitation to the G-20 summit in Miami this December.
Their letter says hosting Putin in the United States would legitimize and normalize Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, which they said still targets civilians daily.
The push came from senior lawmakers on the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, giving the appeal added weight as Trump prepares to host the gathering.
The dispute centers on whether a U.S.-hosted G-20 should include the Russian leader while Moscow’s assault on Ukraine continues.
