A meeting had occurred between the President Joe Biden and the President Putin as they met in Villa La Garge, Switzerland on Wednesday and there is her what you need to know.
Firstly it was closed door meeting that was expected to last between four and five hours, Putin arrived then Biden arrived few minutes later after him to the villa, Putin gave his press conference speech then Biden gave his.
As Biden started his speech welcoming the reports saying "It's always better to meet you face to face", the meeting lasted about 90 minutes, as the meeting were joined by both Secretary of State "Antony Blinken" and Russian foreign minister "Sergey Lavrov". Putin stated through the translator that there is issues between the U.S and Russian relations, as before they began the shook their hands before entering the villa which all the reporters were lining up just to capture this moment as this was the first meeting between two national world leaders in three years.
To sum up, BBC stated those words "Biden refused to say what exactly he hopes to get out of the meeting, what he intends to push Putin on or what success would look like, saying it wouldn't make sense to negotiate in the press" as Biden said that if anything happens we will respond in kind and respect, As the first time Biden met Putin was when he was only vice president, as Biden said its not a meeting either to find trust or friendship its more about finding common ground and negotiate about the things that we are concerned about.
