Carney says Russia’s ejection from G20 was ‘valid’ as officials return
The Canadian prime minister says it’s up to U.S. President Donald Trump which world leaders get an invite to G20 meeting in Miami.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has stated that Russia's expulsion from the G7 and G20 was justified due to Russia's actions in Crimea and its ongoing aggression in Ukraine. Carney, when addressing concerns about Russian officials returning to the international forum, emphasized that it is the host's prerogative to decide whom to invite.
He reiterated Canada's unwavering support for Ukraine and expressed his message to Russian President Vladimir Putin, should he attend the G20 leaders meeting in Miami this December, which would be a firm demand for Russia to withdraw from Ukraine and end the conflict that has resulted in over 30,000 deaths monthly.
