What every side reports

Donald Trump invited Vladimir Putin to attend the G20 summit being held in Miami.

Where the framing diverges

Left-leaning coverage (NYT) frames the invitation as controversial, emphasizing that other world leaders are unlikely to welcome Putin due to Russia's war in Ukraine. Center-leaning coverage (Newsweek) shifts focus to how Russian media and commentators are reacting to the invitation, portraying it with skepticism about its practical value for Putin, using a dismissive quote from a Russian tabloid. No right-leaning coverage was provided for comparison.
