Jim Tankersley and Alan Rappeport report:
"Receiving the Russian finance minister here sends a signal I find troubling,” Mr. Klingbeil told reporters on Monday afternoon. “I would have preferred clear positioning from the U.S. side that he not be received like a regular guest.” 
Mr. Siluanov’s presence was not announced publicly by American officials before the summit, and White House officials did not respond to questions on Sunday over whether he had been invited. His appearance came as President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia was set to join President Xi Jinping of China and President Masoud Pezeshkian of Iran at a summit in Kyrgyzstan. China’s finance minister and the head of its central bank were, as is typical, also in attendance at the G20 meeting. [emphasis added]
