Trump says he will invite Zelenskyy to December G20 summit

President Donald Trump told journalists at Mar-a-Lago that he will invite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the G20 summit in the Miami area in December, saying he sees no problem with it, and that he believes the Russia-Ukraine war will end in the not too distant future.

Why it matters: A Zelenskyy invitation would put Ukraine's president at the US-hosted leaders' summit alongside Russia's delegation, after Washington also invited Russia, and it signals the White House expects the war to be nearing an end by December.
