A reidout tonight with something we haven t had in four long years, a president who actually talked tough to russia. President biden continues his cleanup diplomacy today, bringing america back into the international fold at today s nato summit in brussels. In a news conference following a very busy day he previewed what is undoubtedly today s event, his meeting on wednesday with russian president vladimir putin. I m going to make clear to president putin that there are areas where we can cooperate if he chooses. And if he chooses not to cooperate, and acts in a way that he has in the past relative to cyber security and some other activities, then we will respond.
