US invites Russian Finance Minister Siluanov to G20 finance meeting in Asheville, sparking European objections
Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov attended the US-hosted G20 finance ministers meeting in Asheville, North Carolina, marking his first in-person G20 appearance since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. He held a bilateral meeting with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. European officials including Germany's Lars Klingbeil and Poland's Andrzej Domanski criticized the invitation, and European delegates refused to appear in the G20 family photo with Siluanov.
