On June 16, Russian President Putin and US President Biden will meet in Geneva. It is expected that the two sides will discuss the new crown epidemic, cyber security, human rights, and diplomatic relations.
On the 14th local time, Biden changed his previous term of Putin as a "killer", and instead commented on him as a "respectable opponent."
Biden said Putin is a "respectable opponent."
He said, "I have met Putin, he is wise and strong. I think he is a respectable opponent."
When asked if Putin is still a "killer" as he said before, Biden laughed for a few seconds and said, "I believe he was indeed...I think in terms of our next meeting, It is not important."
A few days ago, Putin said in an interview that Russia-US relations are at their lowest point in recent years. Biden responded by saying that he agreed with Putin's statement on Russia-US relations.
