Putin Praise Biden’s ‘Professionalism’ At Summit

President Vladamir Putin has praised President Joe Biden‘s “professionalism” during their meeting in Geneva.

During a press conference on Thursday given by Putin, he said that the Russian and American media outlets have got it all wrong, “And you need to be very careful working with him in order not to miss anything. He doesn’t miss anything himself.”

Putin on the narrative portrayed (esp by Russian state media like RT, and some in the US), questioning Biden’s mental health “has nothing to do with reality. He had no jet lag, was cheerful, we spoke eye to eye 2+ hrs. He’s completely of sound mind and should be taken seriously.” https://t.co/TWfsScGSQj

American outlets have applauded Biden’s decision not to do a press conference with Putin, saying that should be an event reserved for the U.S. and its allies.

The success of the meeting between the two presidents is a welcome change in diplomacy after President Donald Trump‘s odd and highly controversial relationship with the oligarch.

Both Biden and Putin have agreed to crack down on cybersecurity threats, most of which originate in Russia.
