Trudeau says G20 leaders were having conversations about Russia’s participation, attempts by the United States, Canada and other Western allies to exclude Russia would likely be vetoed by others in the club
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Thursday that Russia cannot be a constructive partner in the G20, a group composed of most of the world’s largest economies, because of its invasion of Ukraine.
Any attempt by the United States, Canada and other Western allies to exclude Russia would likely be vetoed by others in the club, which includes China, India, Saudi Arabia and others. “The bottom line is: It can’t be business as usual to have Vladimir Putin just sitting around the table pretending that everything’s okay,” Trudeau said.The G20 along with the smaller Group of Seven – comprising the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan and Britain – is a major international platform for coordinating everything from climate change action to cross-border debt.
