An emboldened Biden meets an unbothered Putin

In a briefing with reporters ahead of the meeting, Biden said he would convey to Putin where the United States’ “red lines” are — possibly around issues of election interference, cybersecurity, military escalation with Ukraine and the treatment of Russian dissidents. “I’m going to make clear to President Putin that there are areas where we can cooperate, if he chooses,” Biden said. “And if he chooses not to cooperate and acts in a way that he has in the past, relative to cybersecurity and some other activities, then we will respond.”
