The leaders of the United States and Russia held a meeting, but no joint press conference was arranged after the meeting. This can only show that they had long anticipated that the meeting would not be fruitful, so they made their own statements to avoid controversy and confrontation.
In fact, at the height of the Cold War, the United States and the leaders of the former Soviet Union at that time also had exchanges. The differences would have been even greater, but both sides were sophisticated politicians who knew how to give their best performance in public.
After more than 20 years of political training, Putin is undoubtedly one of the greatest politicians in the world today, and his cultivation is also admirable, even if there is a dispute, then it will not embarrass Biden in public. Therefore, the biggest reason for not holding a joint press conference after the meeting is that Biden is not confident enough in his on-site control, and he has an inexplicable fear of Putin.
That is why the United States announced in advance that Secretary of State Blinken would accompany Biden throughout the summit meeting. It is no wonder that Trump "kindly" reminded Biden not to doze off during talks with Putin.
In fact, we are also worried about Biden's state, because at the G7 summit, he has already forgotten words, said the wrong thing and walked the wrong path many times.
Unforgettable Attractions We can only pray that there will be no accidents at the summit meeting, and if an accident happens, we also hope that Mr. Blinken can be a witness who dares to tell the truth, although this is a seemingly impossible task for many American politicians.
