U.S. Presidents Joe Biden said that the U.S. and Russia had agreed to cooperate and “advance our mutual interests”.
"The last thing Putin wants is a new Cold War," Biden told assembled journalists, emphasising that discussions were "positive".
"And I must tell you the tone of the entire meetings – I guess it was a total of four hours – was good, positive," he said. "There wasn’t any strident action taken."
He also said the discussions had spent a great deal of time on arms control and on cyber-attacks, where he had told Putin that "critical infrastructure should be off-limits".
