US Invites Putin to G20 Summit at Trump Golf Club in Miami

The United States extended an invitation to Vladimir Putin to participate in the G20 summit scheduled for December 2026 in Miami, Florida. The invitation was announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a press conference at the United Nations conference in New York. The move is seen as a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy, signaling a potential thaw in relations with Russia following its invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The invitation has drawn mixed reactions. The Kremlin has not issued a public response, while Ukraine and EU countries are likely to express concerns over the decision. The event is set against the backdrop of ongoing geopolitical tensions, with the U.S. and Russia navigating a complex relationship amid global challenges. The G20 summit will be held at a Trump-owned golf club in Miami, a location that has drawn criticism for its association with the former president.
