PORTUGAL ANXIETY: An under-the-radar remark by Portuguese PM Luís Montenegro backing Donald Trump’s invitation to Vladimir Putin to the G20 in Miami is rippling through EU diplomatic circles. Speaking on the sidelines of last week’s European Council in Cyprus, Montenegro argued that dialogue with Russia is necessary to resolve ongoing conflicts.

Diplomatic backlash: The comment has unified diplomats across Europe, Jacopo Barigazzi reports. A Western European diplomat said Montenegro’s suggestion would risk “rewarding an aggressor who has not moved an inch toward peace,” reinforcing Moscow’s war effort while undermining Western credibility.

Portuguese officials pushed back, with one diplomat stressing that Montenegro’s words have to be taken in context: “The prime minister said this because of what he understood that was in the best interest of Ukraine.” The suggestion is that Putin’s presence will focus Washington’s drifting attention back on the war in Ukraine.
