presented a vastly different front when he met with his Russian counterpart for the first time on Wednesday.
While the two did not hold a joint press conference after their meeting as Trump and Putin did when they met in Helsinki three years ago, Biden made his own remarks to reporters on the"productive" meeting. "I told President Putin my agenda is not against Russia or anybody else. It's for the American people," Biden said on Tuesday.
