Political storm around the G20 summit. "They are at the head of a pariah state"

Atlanta will host the G20 foreign ministers' meeting this Friday and Saturday, with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov attending, sparking controversy among U.S. politicians. Republican Congressman Don Bacon expressed outrage, stating Lavrov should not be allowed entry while Russia is at war with Ukraine. Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen echoed this sentiment, urging President Trump to pressure Putin instead of welcoming his representatives. Despite the political tensions, the U.S. State Department emphasizes the meeting's importance for global economic and security issues, including geopolitical crises and supply chain stability. Poland will participate as a full member, marking a significant moment for its influence in global decisions.
