The U.S. has invited Putin to the December G20 summit in Miami — Sky News

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that Putin has been officially invited to the Group of Twenty (G20) summit, which will take place in Miami this December.

The U.S. official expressed hope that the Kremlin leader would accept the invitation, as it would provide an opportunity for him to meet face-to-face with Donald Trump. The leaders of the two countries have not held face-to-face talks since the summit in Anchorage, Alaska, last August.

At the same time, according to available information, the Russian leader will most likely refrain from traveling to the summit in the U.S., opting instead to visit China for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.
