Joe Biden, Vladimir Putin To Hold June 16 Talks At This 18th-Century Swiss Villa

During the June 16 Joe Biden-Vladminir Putin summit, strategic nuclear stability and regional conflicts will be on the table.

US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to hold their June 16 summit in an 18th-century Swiss villa overlooking Lake Geneva, a soothing setting for what promises to be heated talks. Bitter disputes over election interference, cyberattacks, human rights and Ukraine hang over their first face-to-face meeting since Biden took office on January 20. Strategic nuclear stability and regional conflicts will be on the table. Biden, who is due to arrive in Britain on Wednesday at the start of his first trip abroad as president, has said he would press Putin to respect human rights. Putin said last Friday he expected the talks to be held in a positive atmosphere, though he anticipated no breakthrough.
