In a crowded field, the low point of Donald Trump’s international diplomacy during four years as president may have come in Helsinki when he nodded along throughout a bizarre joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
President Joe Biden won’t have the opportunity to side with the Russian autocrat against his own Justice Department and intelligence services at next week’s summit after the White House announced that there would be no twin podium moment.
“A solo press conference is the appropriate format to clearly communicate with the free press the topics that were raised in the meeting,” said a White House official on Saturday.

12. Smart move, although with Biden we wouldn't be seeing this anyway:
6. "Russia is a gas station run by a mafia that is masquerading as a country."
- John McCain
“They are a smaller country, they are a weaker country, their economy doesn't produce anything that anybody wants to buy except oil and gas and arms."
- Barack Obama
7. Denying Putin a world stage platform is BRILLIANT.
Makes the US a more dominant player on the world stage. Makes Russia a pariah regime that it is.
Biden will let the rest of the world know Russia has been put on notice for its dirty tricks in allowing hackers safe harbor, the attempted murder of political rivals, occupation of parts of Ukraine, and their overall intentions to disrupt NATO. All with that Irish smile of his.
For Putin does not take humiliation very well.
31. Russia has roughly the same GDP as New York state.
If they did not have nuclear weapons, they would simply be another small, struggling country.
