Biden, Putin to meet in Geneva on June 16

President Joe Biden and President Vladimir Putin will hold their first summit next month in Geneva, the White House said Tuesday, setting the stage for a new chapter in the fraught US-Russian relationship. 

The meeting in the Swiss city will be on June 16, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said.

"The leaders will discuss the full range of pressing issues, as we seek to restore predictability and stability to the US-Russia relationship," she said.

The Kremlin said in a statement that the two leaders would discuss bilateral ties, problems related to strategic nuclear stability, and other issues including cooperation in the fight against Cvid-19 and regional conflicts.
