14 senators urge Trump to rescind Putin’s invitation to G20 Miami summit
A bipartisan group of 14 U.S. senators has urged President Donald Trump to rescind Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s invitation to the G20 summit in Miami.
Fourteen U.S. senators have called upon President Donald Trump to withdraw Russian President Vladimir Putin's invitation to the upcoming G20 summit in Miami. This appeal was released on September 25, 2022, via the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's official website. The senators who endorsed the letter comprise Democrats Jeanne Shaheen and Republicans Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn.
The letter asserts that "President Putin bears sole responsibility for launching Russia's full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine," and that permitting him to attend the G20 Summit in the United States would legitimize and normalize a government perpetually targeting Ukrainian civilian populations. The senators highlight the escalating attacks on civilians in Ukraine and Russia's interference against U.S. interests globally.
In addition, they mention that Russia's intentions are unmistakably clear, with reports suggesting that Russia is aiding Iran in targeting American service members in the Middle East. Furthermore, Russia has intensified its hybrid warfare activities in Europe while conducting lethal aerial assaults against Ukrainian cities and vital infrastructure.
The senators strongly advocate for Putin not participating in G20 events or comparable international gatherings within the United States. They also propose barring Putin and any sanctioned Russian officials from attending G20 events.
