President Biden says he brought up Alexei Navalny, human rights abuses, and election interference with Vladimir Putin:

“The bottom line is I told President Putin that we need to have some basic rules of the road that we can all abide by.”
President Biden on meeting with Putin: “I did what I came to do …”

“I must tell you, the tone of the entire meetings — I guess it was a total of four hours — was good, positive.”
Freudian Slip of the Day: Biden refers to President Putin as President Trump, then quickly corrects himself.
CNN's @kaitlancollins: "Why are you so confident [Putin] will change his behavior, Mr. President?"

Biden: "I'm not confident he'll change his behavior — what the hell, what do you do all the time? When did I say I was confident? What I said was ..."
President Biden apologizes to the press for being a "wise guy" in his response to CNN's @kaitlancollins.
