The United States plans to invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to the G20 Summit, set for December 14-15, 2026, in Miami, Florida. This invitation represents a potential shift in Washington's stance towards Moscow, which has faced isolation following its 2022 invasion of Ukraine. President Donald Trump expressed skepticism about whether Putin would attend, stating, “I doubt he’d come, to be honest with you,” while acknowledging that Putin's presence could be beneficial. The Kremlin has confirmed receipt of the invitation but noted that discussions regarding Putin's attendance are ongoing. Complicating matters is an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2023 related to the Ukraine conflict, which restricts Putin's travel to ICC member countries. The US is not a member of the ICC, allowing for potential attendance. Since 2019, Putin has missed G20 meetings due to the pandemic and ongoing geopolitical tensions.
