Biden and Putin agreed in their pointedly separate press conferences that their first face-to-face meeting was “constructive.” Each leader agreed to return their nations’ ambassadors to their posts in Washington and Moscow. They also made plans to rework the last remaining treaty between the U.S. and Russia limiting nuclear weapons.
