The first Biden-Putin meeting – level 1

The first Biden-Putin meeting

17-06-2021 07:00

A villa in Switzerland is very special. It is a place of the first meeting between the US president Joe Biden and the Russian president Vladimir Putin. The presidents want to speak about many things.

The Swiss police and army close two parks which are near the place of the meeting.

Switzerland is a neutral country. It is a good place for the meeting.

Biden is on his first trip abroad as a president. First, he travels to England for a G7 meeting. G7 is a group of big and strong countries in the world. Then he goes to Switzerland for his meeting with Putin.

Biden stays in Europe for eight days. He wants to speak with many European politicians during his visit.

Difficult words: villa (a big house with a big garden), neutral (when you do not agree with any people but you work with them), abroad (in a foreign country).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
