WASHINGTON (AA) - US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold their first face-to-face meeting next month, the White House announced on Tuesday.

The June 16 summit will take place in Geneva, Switzerland following months of deliberations between Moscow and Washington over the appropriate third-party country in which to hold the meeting.

"The leaders will discuss the full range of pressing issues, as we seek to restore predictability and stability to the U.S.-Russia relationship," spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement.
