Biden said he discussed methane emissions in the Arctic with Putin in Geneva. The US president said the Russian leader made it clear to him that he was aware of the existing problem, but found it difficult to answer how exactly it should be solved.

Earlier, during his speech, Biden mixed up how long he has been serving as president. In addition, when talking about new NATO members, he confused Finland and Norway. The meeting took place in Geneva in 2021, according to the Russian media.
