The U.S. will invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to the G20 Summit in Miami this December, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sept. 23, following a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
The Group of 20, or G20, is a major international economic forum. Russia remains a member of the G20 although it was kicked out of the G8 following its illegal annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea in 2014.
“We think it’s an opportunity for (Putin) to engage not just with the (U.S.) president but with other world leaders. We hope that’s an invitation he’ll accept,” Rubio told journalists. “We remain open to engaging.”
If Putin does attend, this would mark his second visit to the U.S. during President Donald Trump’s second term. His first state visit in nearly a decade took place in August 2025, when he traveled to Alaska for talks on the war in Ukraine that did not yield any major breakthroughs.
Following the Alaska summit, Trump said in September 2025 that he would [“love” to host ](https://kyivindependent.com/trump-says-hed-love-to-host-putin-xi-at-next-years-g20-summit-in-us/)Putin at the G20 summit.
President Volodymyr Zelensky signaled in an interview with German media published on Sept. 12 that he would be [ready to meet](https://kyivindependent.com/zelensky-says-he-is-ready-to-meet-putin-at-g20-summit-in-miami/) with Putin at the G20 summit, saying, “We have to meet, to speak and make decisions.”
Imagine getting speedrun-scammed for 18 whole months and still not realizing it 🤡
So will the other 18 countries boycott this one?
Complete abomination
He needs to be engaged with, just boycotting and treating him like a lepper won’t help.
Fuck that traitor.
Russia doesn’t have a G20 economy anymore right because of Ukrainian sanctions
It’s the off-ramp for Vlad, but I doubt he will take it. Getting dealt with by his own mates seems like a more noble way to go than getting eaten by crocodiles and buried on the Trump’s golfing grounds.
Who is communist now Dems or Trump?, this admin is a threat to national security
Can’t wait for another red carpet, troops parade and air show.
Anything I want to say about this will likely result in the ban hammer being used. I’ll just say that this is no surprise, unfortunately.
Just invite selensky and putin will not show up
Summit is in mid December, I just hope that the mid terms in the US will go to democrats and they will be able to exclude Russia somehow.
America is a disgrace.
They got the chance to do the funniest thing ever…
Perfect place to arrest him
Disgusting. Americans cosying up to Putin and shirking their allies.
Rubio can run for President of Russia. He will never be President of the United States unless Elon Musk steals it for him.
I’m pretty sure he already said he’ll snub it and go to Xi’s summit lol
Realistically speaking, he will not come.
We should invite him to a cozy meeting in Den Haag.
Russia really got their moneys worth out of this slob
US goverment day by day finds new lows and ways to be disgusting
So, if his plane has to stop somewhere in EU we could technically arrest him?
This tops most of Trumps insane actions. Inviting a sanctioned war criminal, wtf
On brand
How humiliating for america.
No one is forcing the UK, Germany, Italy, Japan, France et al to attend.
I’d want the European nations to skip it. They probably won’t, and I’d understand it, but, I’d like that to happen.
No puppet, no puppet!
Gross.
Unfortunately supreme leader Putin has pilates on that day
They should walk out on this criminal
Good luck enjoying the G2 while the other G18 takes places in Montreal
Sleeping with the enemy. What other despicable acts will the Trump Regime and MAGA come up with next?
But Putin denied attending the meeting just last week? Wtf are the states up to
Rest of the members should only send their ambasssy people as representation.
The EU, Canada, and others, should block use of their airspace
Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan and Korea should boycott
So many war criminals we cozy up to.

Whyyyyyy
There are only to countries in the world, the ruling class country and the working class. They only use us to fight the competirion between them selves like a friendly chess game, then go out for drinks afterwards while we die at the front line
I thought we couldn’t shame and embarrass ourselves any further as a country. I don’t know why I thought that.
Lmao just have Trump suck him off live on camera. Makes it less obvious.
Jailing putin would be a redemption arc pivot from whatever usa is becoming
Not going to happen.
