Biden and Putin to meet next month in Geneva
US President Joe Biden is set to meet with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin next month in Geneva
According to the White House, President Biden and Putin will meet in Geneva to discuss a range of issues.
As Ticker’s International Correspondent Jackson Williams reports, the US is wanting a more “stable, predictable relationship” with Russia.
In a recent press statement, the White House said they will speak about a “full range of pressing issues, as they seek to restore predictability and stability to the US-Russia relationship.”
It comes as the Biden administration called out Putin on allegations that his government interfered with last year’s election.
Tensions have also been high after Putin arrested and jailed Russia’s opposition leader Alexi Navalny earlier this year.
Doctor Alexey Muraviev from Curtin University joined tickerNEWS to discuss what’s on Putin’s agenda with Biden.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki says the two parties are meeting because of the two countries’ differences, not in spite of them.
