Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she is optimistic about the summit between Biden and Putin, celebrating what she expects will be straightforward talks between the two leaders after what she called four 'lost' years on Russia-U.S. relations
Hillary Clinton, in her interview with "Morning Joe," expressed relief at having Biden at the helm and hope that Biden will approach the meeting with toughness. | Democratic National Convention via APFormer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday she is optimistic about the summit between President Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin, celebrating what she expects will be straightforward talks between the two leaders after what she called four "lost" years on Russia-U.S.
"None of that will happen now,” Clinton said. “I think that the way that this has been stage managed — a quick handshake, no photo spray that goes on and on where people can say things, getting in and out of the room, getting down to business, no joint press conference — those are really strong diplomatic signals about what it is we expect. We expect an open, straightforward conversation and that's Joe Biden at large.
Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign was the target of what the U.S. intelligence community identified as an election interference campaign launched by the Russian government. Dragged down in part by controversy that emerged from hacked emails and disinformation that circulated widely on social media, Clinton was upset in the 2016 election and lost to former President Donald Trump.
