Biden Preps For Putin Meeting.
President Biden is preparing for his meeting with Vladimir Putin which is predicted to be somewhat tense to say the least. (The Hill)
“The Wednesday meeting is expected to be frosty, and the White House has set expectations low, saying Biden’s goal is to put the U.S. on a path to a more predictable relationship with Moscow. It is certain to draw sharp contrast with the 2018 summit between then-President Trump and Putin in Helsinki, during which Trump triggered enormous controversy by doubting the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment of Russian election interference during a joint press conference.
”
President Biden has his work cut out for him in dealing with the aftermath left by President Trump and his abdication of responsibility and leadership. The vacuum of leadership that President Biden inherited is big and wide with ramifications that will continue to be felt for years if not decades to come. The President has to be strong and forceful in all of his international dealings to effectively reassert American authority on the international stage. The job will not be easy.
