Europeans sideline Russia’s finance chief at US-hosted G20 photo
At the US-chaired G20 summit in Asheville, European officials refused to be pictured with Russia’s finance minister Anton Siluanov, effectively excluding him from the group photo after objections. Siluanov later met US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in a “productive” discussion, highlighting Moscow’s continued isolation since the Ukraine invasion as leaders discuss growth, debt restructuring and global economic imbalances.
