Regarding the summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, he stated, "I will make it clear that the United States will not stand by while Russia violates human rights."



Meanwhile, President Biden comforted the families of the fallen soldiers and expressed pride in his eldest son Beau's service in the Iraq War. That day marked the anniversary of Beau's death from cancer.
