U.S. President Donald Trump intends to invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the G20 summit in December. The gathering is scheduled to take place at the president's Doral golf resort in Miami, Florida.
President Trump suggested that Vladimir Putin's participation in the summit could be useful and very helpful. He also remarked that it had been a mistake to expel Russia from the G8. While expressing these views, Trump noted that he did not necessarily expect the Russian leader to attend the meeting.
The Kremlin stated on Friday that President Putin could travel to the summit, although he has not yet committed to attending. The Kremlin further clarified that Putin has not yet decided whether he will participate in the annual gathering of world leaders.
