LONDON — Vladimir Putin won’t be invited to the G20 summit in the U.K. next year, Andy Burnham said in an interview published Thursday. Pushed by the Economist magazine on whether the Russian president will be included in the gathering of world leaders in Manchester next November, the British PM said: “No.” Burnham’s decision to exclude Putin comes after U.S. President Donald Trump sparked a diplomatic row by inviting the Russian leader to America’s G20 summit in Miami this December. British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband previously told POLITICO Britain will not ditch its ban on directly engaging with Russia, but that it was for the U.S. to make its own decisions.
