Will the Biden-Putin meeting improve US-Russia relations?
President Joe Biden meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin, June 16, 2021, in Geneva.
US-Russia relations over the years have been defined by altercation and disagreement. After Wednesday’s summit meeting in Geneva, both Biden and Putin expressed a desire to turn the page. Also, since 2016, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs has led to thousands of killings. The International Criminal Court is now calling for an investigation of those deaths as war crimes. And, at the NATO leaders summit this week, the defense alliance said it would begin formally studying how climate change impacts security threats.
