It came as a report in the Washington Post, citing a U.S. State Department official, said that the U.S. was intending to invite Russia to the summit. It's scheduled to be held at U.S. President Donald Trump's Doral golf course in Miami, Florida in December of this year.

In follow-up reports, a statement attributed to a senior Trump administration official read: "All G20 members will be invited to attend ministerial meetings and the leaders' summit."

However, when Trump himself was asked by reporters in the Oval Office later on Thursday, he said he wasn't aware of any invitation to Russia and cast doubt on whether Russian President Vladimir Putin would personally attend. "If he came, it would be probably very helpful," Trump further said.

The last time Putin attended a G20 summit was in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. After the start of the Ukraine war in 2022, he was diplomatically isolated by the West and made subject of an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court, limiting his travel to member countries.

It's unclear whether Russia was even invited to the G20, and doubtful that Putin would actually attend. However, talking to everyone is the right approach and it would be beneficial if Putin came.
