Biden and Putin to hold summit on June 16 in Switzerland

The US and Russia plan to discuss stability between the two nations, while expectations for a breakthrough are low.

US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a long-anticipated summit in Geneva, Switzerland, on June 16, the White House and the Kremlin announced on Tuesday, marking the first meeting between the two leaders since Biden became president in January. “The leaders will discuss the full range of pressing issues, as we seek to restore predictability and stability to the US-Russia relationship,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said. The Kremlin said the two will discuss strategic nuclear stability and bilateral ties between the two nations.
