President Biden Refuses To Hold A Joint Press Conference With Russian President Putin At The End Of Their Summit On Wednesday

 

Daily Mail: Biden will give a SOLO press conference after summit with Putin: REFUSES to take questions standing next to the Russian leader 

 * President Joe Biden will hold a solo press conference after his meeting with Vladimir Putin next week 

 * Two leaders meet in Geneva on Wednesday 

 * 'We expect this meeting to be candid and straightforward and a solo press conference is the appropriate format,' White House official said 

* White House reluctant to grant Putin yet another prominent platform in addition to the summit itself and put Biden in unscripted situation 

* Trump held joint presser with Putin when two leaders met in Helsinki in 2018 

President Joe Biden will hold a solo press conference after his meeting with Vladimir Putin next week, denying the Russian president the opportunity to stand by him and answer questions from the press. 

A joint press conference is traditional when two world leaders meet and President Donald Trump held one with Putin when the two men met in Helsinki in July 2018. 

It was an indication both of the administration's reluctance to grant Putin yet another prominent platform in addition to the summit itself - as well as a reluctance on the part of the White House to put Biden in an unscripted situation that could go off the rails.

Update #1: Biden will hold solo press conference after Putin meeting (FOX News)  

Update #2: Biden And Putin Won't Hold A Joint News Conference After Their Geneva Meeting (NPR)  

WNU editor: This breaks protocol. In the past a joint news conference always occurred after a summit.

The media narrative is that President Biden does not want to give Russian President Putin a platform that will give him a lot of media attention. As if the summit that the Biden administration requested does not give Putin a lot of attention. 

I am willing to bet that the real reason why there is no joint news conference, as pointed out by the above Daily Mail post, is a reluctance on the part of the White House to put President Biden in an unscripted situation that could go off the rails.

Could Putin and Jill hold the joint press conference?


She is smart after all. She has a doctorate. Her thesis was on nontraditional students commuting to community colleges. She sent out a score or two score of surveys. Ground breaking stuff.

Obviously she is more than match for the hapless Putin. After all he can only speak Russian and German. Dr. Jill is so smart she gets by speaking only American!

On the one hand Putin could wind up Biden & make a fool out of him during the joint press conference. As Putin appears to be wiser than the west's political leaders, I think that he would be restrained & respectful to Biden. Its in Russia & China's best interests to have Biden in the White House for as long as possible. Mind you Cackling Kamala in the White House would also be an asset for Americas enemies.Cackling Kamala.... if The Joker was a transgender politician, using cookies with her face baked on as her calling card at crime scenes. We're in for an interesting & exciting 5 or 6 years. Keep ducking 🙉

I love the was comments here side with Russia, a commie nation! and badmouth America, fucking traitors. Move to marxist Russia.

It will be the first standalone U.S.-Russia summit since 2018, when then-President Donald Trump met with Putin in Helsinki.

The news conference that followed their meeting has become infamous: It was there that Trump publicly sided with Putin as Putin denied U.S. intelligence findings of Russian interference in the 2016 election. The president's comments drew swift and bipartisan condemnation at home, and he later attempted to walk them back.

And he took a stern posture ahead of a planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin — warning that he planned to “let him know what I want him to know.”

Through it all, Biden never once mentioned the name of his predecessor, Donald Trump. Yet Trump’s shadow has loomed large over Biden’s first trip abroad as president — an eight-day swing through Cornwall, England; Brussels; and Geneva, where Biden is being welcomed as much for who he is not as for who he is.

The global specter of Trump has transformed itself from an active storm to a threatening cloud, creating an overseas atmosphere in which Biden was greeted with equal parts optimism and skepticism. One senior European official described his horror at the Jan. 6 assault by pro-Trump rioters on the U.S. Capitol — and said he had an even worse feeling reading opinion polls since then showing that a substantial portion of Republican voters believe Biden is an illegitimate president, a baseless claim perpetuated by Trump.

“Your democracy is in serious trouble,” the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to talk frankly about an ally.

I know that anti Trump guy in the earlier posts is a retard of some kind. This post is not for his benefit. this is for the rest of you.

I do not think America can boast a "Good" government anymore. Our government IS spying on us, the media is actually the government. We see gross examples of propaganda and lying. the justice system protects those Democrats in power.

Economically, the Government is hurting us. it is the enemy by its policies. The American Government is dividing us and destroying our once great culture. Biden is now at the head of that.

Putin and Russia has some of the same problems but Putin is not trying to destroy the rich Russian Culture, he is protecting it. He sees the disaster of the American dollar and is preparing his country for its collapse. The Russian economy is strengthening. They have a small debt problem compared to the west and China. BIG TECH DOES NOT RUN RUSSIA. CHINA DOES NOT RUN RUSSIA. IF I am not wrong on any of these points then why wouldn't I show more respect to the Russian government then the American one.

anti-Trump guy is a former, retired wingnut professor or an impostor


I do not doubt that Putin is an bastard or can be a bastard, but I have no doubt that Putin trues to protect Russia and Russian culture

I also see the DOJ as protecting the Democrats in charge. They might throw a sop every now and again or come down on someone who has been exposed, but the percentages and the egregious things they overlook prove that they are an arm of the DNC.
