White House Reveals Details of Future Talks with Putin

The administration of U.S. President Joseph Biden will establish stable relations with Moscow if the latter takes mutual steps in this direction.

“President Biden’s been very clear for a long time, including before he was President, that if Russia chooses to act recklessly or aggressively, we’ll respond.  But we’re not looking to escalate.  We would prefer to have a more stable, more predictable relationship.  And if Russia moves in that direction, so will we,” U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said at a joint press conference with UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab in London.

Blinken said that Biden wanted to raise the issue during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The United States makes decisions based on Moscow’s actions and will continue to respond to any steps it considers unfriendly.
