WASHINGTON, April 20 (Reuters) – U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told her counterpart from Indonesia that there will be no “business-as-usual” for Russia in the global economy given its invasion of Ukraine, the Treasury Department said in a statement on Wednesday.

Yellen told Indonesian Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati during a meeting on Tuesday that the United States will continue to work with Indonesia, which currently leads the Group of 20 major economies, to advance G20 business.
