Biden Expected to Pass ‘Strong Message’ to Putin at Geneva Summit - Reports

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The White House expects that the upcoming summit between US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin will present an opportunity for the US leader to deliver “a strong message” to Moscow, NBC reports.

A person familiar with the planning of the talks told NBC on Saturday that Biden is expected to present a contrasting image to that of former US President Donald Trump, following his first summit with Putin.

Earlier this week, US media reported that Biden had decided to hold a separate press conference after the Geneva summit on June 16, since Biden’s top aides were wary about a joint presser, aiming to avoid the scenario of the Helsinki summit in 2018. Back then, Trump welcomed Putin’s statements about non-interference in the 2016 presidential elections in the US, dismissing data presented by the national intelligence.

The upcoming talks between Biden and Putin will present an opportunity to discuss areas of cooperation, such as strategic stability and arms control.
