President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin are not currently expected to hold a joint press conference following their high-stakes summit in Geneva, Switzerland, next week
The final plans are still being formulated, and could change. But officials putting together the day's events said that as of Friday no joint press conference was expected.This is a change from three years ago, when then-President Donald Trump met privately for two hours with Putin in Helsinki, Finland. Both leaders spoke to reporters after, which is when Trump sided with the Kremlin over US intelligence agencies, drawing criticism at home.
"Sullivan said, as Biden was flying to England to begin his foreign trip, that the President himself did plan to speak afterward."He does want to have an opportunity after that meeting to read it out and speak about his impressions and what he sees as the way forward," he said.In the weeks following Biden's invitation to Putin for a summit meeting in Europe, officials from the two sides have negotiated details of the encounter, including its agenda and location.
