President Joe Biden wants Russia removed from the G-20 group of the world's largest economies, the president said during a news conference Thursday.
Asked during a press conference at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Thursday if Russia's invasion of Ukraine should prompt the G-20 to kick Moscow out, Biden said “my answer is yes.”
“That depends on the G-20,” Biden continued. “That was raised today.”
Biden said he told NATO leaders that if Russia could not be removed from the G-20, Ukraine should be invited to attend the group's meetings as an observer.
Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to attend the G-20 summit this October, Russia’s ambassador to Indonesia told Reuters Wednesday.
