Putin laughs off ‘killer’ comments ahead of summit with Biden

In a clip that NBC News posted before airing the full interview on Monday, Putin described Biden as a “career man” who has “spent virtually his entire adulthood in politics,” making him a very different type of politician than former president Donald Trump. “It is my great hope that, yes, there are some advantages, some disadvantages, but there will not be any impulse-based movements on behalf of the sitting U.S. president,” Putin said.
