(VOVWORLD) - The White House and the Kremlin are working to arrange a summit next month between President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Switzerland, according to officials.
US national security adviser Jake Sullivan is meeting with his Russian counterpart in Geneva, the proposed host city, this week to finalize details. The Americans and Russians are eyeing June 15 and 16 for the summit.
The summit would come at the end of Biden’s first foreign trip as president, a week long swing through Europe that includes a stop in the UK for a Group of Seven summit of leaders of the world’s richest nations, and then a visit to the Brussels headquarters of NATO.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said the Biden administration wants a predictable, stable relationship with Russia.
