Trump Says Putin G-20 Visit Would ‘Probably Be Very Helpful’

US President Donald Trump said he didn’t expect Vladimir Putin to attend the Group of 20 meeting at his resort in Doral, Florida, later this year, but said the Russian leader’s participation could be useful.

Earlier Thursday, the Washington Post reported that Russia would be invited to attend ministerial meetings and the leaders’ summit. Russia has skipped in-person attendance at the annual conference since 2019, due to the coronavirus pandemic and then the war in Ukraine.
