President JoeBiden didn't hesitate when asked if Russia should be removed from the G-20 — the answer is yes, though the call isn't Biden's to make.
The president's remarks came during a press conference in Brussels, where he is meeting with trans-Atlantic leaders for several high-stakes summits on the war in Ukraine."My answer is yes," Biden said."That depends on the G-20. That was raised today, and I raised that possibility that if that can't be done, if Indonesia and others do not agree, then we should, in my view, ask to have Ukraine be able to attend the meetings.
The G-20, or Group of Twenty, is a collection of 19 countries plus the European Union that works to address global economic topics. Russia is a member for now, while Ukraine is not, and Biden made the case that if Russia is not removed, Ukraine should at least be able to attend meetings and"observe."
The G-20 includes many European nations and U.S. allies such as Canada, Japan, and South Korea, but also countries including China, Russia, and Turkey, which hold a rockier relationship with the West.Biden, who took office promising to revitalize America's alliances, is gathering in Brussels and in Warsaw, Poland, with leaders eager for American assurances as they discuss the security and humanitarian emergency on the continent’s eastern front.
