Carney says he would tell Putin to leave Ukraine if they meet at G20

Prime Minister Mark Carney said he would keep any exchange with Russian President Vladimir Putin brief if the two meet at the G20 summit in Miami later this year. Carney said his message would be direct: Russia should leave Ukraine and end the war. He also said there are valid reasons to exclude Putin from the summit, but that the invitation is the host country's decision. The comments came after the United States invited Russia to the gathering, and after Canada's finance minister said Russia's presence at a recent G20 meeting caused discomfort. Putin has not attended a G20 summit since Russia's fullscale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for him.
