Trump apără participarea Rusiei la Summitul G20 găzduit de SUA, în ciuda opoziției Uniunii Europene

Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov attended the G20 meeting in Asheville, North Carolina, marking a significant return after years of absence due to the Ukraine invasion. His presence drew criticism from European officials who believe Russia should not be treated as a normal partner while the war continues. U.S. President Donald Trump defended Russia's participation, emphasizing the importance of maintaining relations with all parties. Discussions between Siluanov and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent included financial cooperation and the economic outlook, but Bessent made it clear that no economic concessions would be made to Russia as long as the conflict persists. The EU also condemned Russia's presence, stating it is not the time to normalize relations with Moscow.
