A bipartisan group of US senators has sent a letter to President Donald Trump urging him to rescind the invitation extended to Russian leader Vladimir Putin to attend the upcoming G20 summit. The American newspaper The Washington Post reported on the initiative on Saturday.
In total, 14 senators signed the letter. The fact that the group includes both Republicans and Democrats indicates that the call to reconsider Putin's place on the summit's guest list has support across both political camps in Congress.
Summit set for Miami
The G20 summit is scheduled to take place in December, with Miami, Florida, serving as the host city. The fact that the event will be held on US soil makes the question of Putin's invitation especially sensitive, since the final decision on whether the Russian president will be allowed to attend effectively rests with Washington.
The report does not detail the senators' specific arguments in the letter, but the sheer number of lawmakers from different parties uniting behind this demand points to significant political pressure being placed on the White House administration.
It is not currently publicly known how President Trump has responded to the senators' appeal or what decision will ultimately be made regarding Putin's participation in the December summit.
