UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham says Putin not invited to Manchester G20
Prime Minister Andy Burnham confirmed Vladimir Putin will not attend the G20 summit in Manchester in November 2027 due to sanctions.
Sanctions block Russian leader
Burnham stated that an outstanding sanction prevents the Russian president from coming. The United Kingdom has maintained a policy against direct engagement with Russian ministers since the invasion of Ukraine began in 2022.
US plans contrast with UK
President Donald Trump invited Putin to the upcoming meeting in Miami this December. The Kremlin has not yet confirmed whether the leader will accept that invitation.
Focus shifts to AI rules
Burnham noted the summit offers a chance to discuss artificial intelligence safety with Chinese President Xi Jinping. He described bringing the United States and China together for global supervision as challenging but necessary.
