Biden says he is confident he can meet Russia’s Putin soon
U.S. President Joe Biden said on Friday he expected to be able to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin soon and the White House said ongoing differences between the United States and Russia would not need to be resolved in advance of a summit, Reuters reports.
Biden told reporters at the White House he wanted to meet Putin despite Russia's build-up of military forces near Ukraine.
"It does not impact my desire to have a one-on-one meeting and you'll notice he had more troops before. He's withdrawn troops," he said.
Asked about meeting Putin in June, he said: "I'm confident we'll be able to do it. We don't have any specific time or place. That's being worked on."
