- A bipartisan group of senators, including seven Republicans such as McConnell and Cornyn, sent an open letter to President Trump on Friday expressing "serious concern" about his invitation to Russian President Vladimir Putin
- The letter presses Trump to explain why he extended the invitation to Putin for the Group of 20 Leaders' Summit in Miami later this year, amid Russia's ongoing war with Ukraine
Why it matters: Seven GOP senators publicly pressing Trump on Russia policy marks a notable intraparty rebuke. McConnell and Cornyn's signatures add institutional weight, as the letter demands Trump explain why he invited Putin to the Miami G20 amid the Ukraine war.
