The American administration supports the idea of removing Russia from the G-20 group and replacing Poland with Poland, said Piotr Nowak, Minister of Development and Technology.
"Our proposal to remove Russia from the G-20 group and replace it with Poland was met with great understanding by representatives of the American administration. Gina Raimondo, the US secretary of commerce, declared that she would pass it on to President Joe Biden, and the idea was met with welcome," Piotr Nowak announced.
But simply removing Russia from the G20 will not be easy. The decision of the other members must be unanimous, and there is a high risk that some countries may block it. These are mainly China, Indonesia (which now presides over the G20), and India.
Today, the group includes 19 most developed countries in the world and the European Union. The members include the United States, China, India, and Russia. Poland has been striving for membership in the club for years, but so far unsuccessfully, although representatives of the Polish government have been invited several times to the G-20 as an observer.
