How to Watch, Live Stream Joe Biden's Press Conference After Putin ... https://www.newsweek.com/how-watch-live-stream-joe-bidens-press-con...
Putin was expected to arrive at the Geneva villa where the meeting was being
held around 1 p.m. local time, followed by Biden shortly after. Officials estimated
the summit would take four or five hours. At the conclusion, Putin and Biden
would hold separate press conferences, one after another.
The White House hasn't provided an exact time for Biden's press conference,
advising reporters that it'll depend on how the president's meeting with Putin
plays out. PBS has a live stream set up on its website, which is slated to begin
at 2 p.m. EDT.
Biden faced criticism for not holding a joint press conference with Putin, but
defended the decision to address the media alone. He told reporters on Sunday
that it isn't a "contest about who can do better in front of a press conference" or
an opportunity to "embarrass each other."
"It's about making myself very clear what the conditions are to get a better
relationship with Russia," Biden said of the press conference.

Doing the press conference alone would give Biden and Putin each the
opportunity to make their view of how the meeting went "clear," according to the
U.S. president. If they were to do the conference together, Biden said it could
get "diverted" by people evaluating their body language such as whether they
shook hands and who talked the most.
In 2018, former President Donald Trump and Putin held a joint press conference
after their summit, a move that created controversy for the American leader.
During the press conference, Trump was asked if he believed Putin or his own
intelligence agencies about allegations of Russia's meddling in the election.

"President Putin says it's not Russia," Trump said. "I don't see any reason why it
would be."

The comment sparked criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. By
doing a press conference alone, Biden won't face pressure to call out the
Russian leader while the two are in the same room.
"There is no guarantee that you can change a person's behavior or the behavior
of his country. Autocrats have enormous power, and they don't have to answer
to the public, and the fact is that it may very well be that if I respond in kind,
which I will, that it doesn't dissuade him. He wants to keep going," Biden said.
Both sides tempered expectations for the meeting, saying that while the hope
was that issues could be resolved, it wouldn't be a magic fix for the strained
relationship.
