President Biden has arrived at Villa La Grange, the site of his historic summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He is greeted by Swiss President Guy Parmelin.
From CNN's Maegan Vazquez
The summit comes some six months after the start of Biden's tenure in office, offering him the chance to set the tone for relations with the Russian leader in person following a contentious start to their relationship. The decision to not hold a joint press conference was something for which White House officials had pushed. Officials have said Russiaduring negotiations about the summit. But the US resisted because they did not want to give Putin a platform like he had after a 2018 summit with former President Trump in Helsinki.
