CBSN
President Biden sat down on Wednesday for his much-anticipated meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva, Switzerland. Mr. Biden was facing off with Putin after a week of alliance-bolstering meetings with America's closest allies. He attended his first NATO summit as the U.S. leader, his first G-7 conference, and a summit with European Union leaders all within the last week.
Mr. Biden and Putin stood on the front steps of the Geneva hotel hosting the summit and shook hands in front of news cameras before going inside to begin their talks at about 1:30 p.m. local time (7:30 a.m. Eastern). The leaders were to hold separate news conferences after the summit, which was expected to last up to five hours.More Related News
