US President Joe Biden, at the beginning of his conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, forgot to turn on the microphone. The Daily Mail drew attention to the technical difficulties faced by the American politician in the negotiations.
So, in the previously published first footage of the talks between the leaders of the two countries, it was seen how Biden smiled, waved his hand at Putin and said something, but he was not heard. After that, the US President was distracted by the gadget on his desk, trying to turn on the sound. After a few seconds, he managed to do it.
“Like this. Hello. Glad to see you again, ”Biden said as he made contact.
Bilateral negotiations between Putin and Biden started earlier on December 7 and at the time of publication of the material are going on for about two hours. This time, for the first time, they are held in the format of a teleconference, and this contact has become the fifth for the two leaders since Biden took office as president.
