> Russian G20 Sherpa Denis Agafonov said a decision on whether President Vladimir Putin will attend the December summit in Miami will consider preparations, the broader geopolitical context and whether there is a clear purpose for his participation. He said President Donald Trump has clearly backed Putin’s attendance, but the decision will be made closer to the summit.
