0 so president biden has shown his willingness to engage putin where he can. and i think if we dont see any reciprocity, if putin doesnt want for play then this mix that president biden has offered is going to have to skew much more heavily towards the confrontation side so he gets the last word. >> stick with us, andrea, as we await president biden, hes set to begin his press conference in a few minutes. were at the top of the hour. weve been discussing what will president putin said in his pre...

0 come into this? putin is a bad actor and everybody knows this. the president has been clear, he does not expect breakthroughs but what wants a professional relationship where adults can talk about important things. whether its on cyber or political rights or on ukraine, and perhaps he will be more muted at the press conference, and president biden has to make his case here of why he believes even though you dont expect any change in putins behavior that it was important to sit down eyeball to ...

80s and 90s, and you are dealing with a former kgb man, and the way he tries to keep people off, its to keep people waiting, and he kept obama waiting and secretary kerry for hours, and putin is arriving first and meeting with the swiss leaders first, and then president biden will then join putin and will obviously figure out when the meeting is to start, and there are a number of ways the president can play this. one of the important things that all of the people advising him and telling him to...

Strong, if we work together and if we are positive about what should happen in relation to the peace of the world, i actually think president bidens got a great opportunity. he wants to ban nuclear testing. he wants to stop the enrichment of uranium and plutonium which is an issue in iran that is being negotiated at the moment and i think he wants to make an initiative at some time that no country should be the first to use nuclear weapons just as reagan and gorbachev made an agreement even when...
