The Trump administration is the executive branch of the United States federal government under President Donald Trump, who is the 45th President of the United States.
During his second term, which began in January 2025, the administration has been staffed by Cabinet members confirmed by the U.S.
Senate, with Marco Rubio serving as Secretary of State.
The administration conducts U.S. foreign policy and represents the country at international forums such as the G20.
Critics of the invitation are those who oppose the Trump administration's decision to invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit in Miami.
They argue that extending such an invitation to Putin rewards Russia despite its ongoing war in Ukraine, creating a conflict with the administration's stated goal of engaging global leaders.
The administration, through Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has framed the invitation as an opportunity for Putin to engage with other world leaders.
