Trump’s obsequiousness towards Putin is just incredible.
The rest of the G20 should boycott a Trump-Putin love-in.

The United States has officially invited Putin to the G20 summit in Miami, set for December.

"We believe this is an opportunity for Putin to engage not only with President Trump, but also with other world leaders.

We hope that's an invitation he'll accept," Marco Rubio said.

The Trump team is working so hard for Putin they deserve a medal.

Can’t get numb to this: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, despite being absentee in the role, is the nation's top diplomat.

So apparently the Trump admin is now concerned to facilitate Putin's engagement with other world leaders. Putin values status recognition of this kind enormously, particularly from the US, and it will be taken as a further sign of Western weakness.
