As PBS host Yamish Alsindor wrote on her Twitter account, the American leader nodded before the meeting when asked by journalists if he believed Putin.

In turn, the director of the White House for communications on Twitter said that the situation before the meeting was "chaotic", and the journalists "shouted over each other."

“The president clearly didn’t answer any specific question, but simply nodded to acknowledge the press in general,” she said.

Biden said at a press conference a few days ago, Bedingfield said, "first check, then trust."

Earlier it was reported that negotiations between Putin and Biden in a narrow format in Geneva have been going on for more than an hour.
