Biden criticised the Russian president for threatening to use nuclear weapons to push his special military operation in Ukraine. He further gave the indication that he may agree to meet for a planned discussion on Griner's release, who is detained in Russia since February this year.
Furthermore, Biden believed that Putin won't deploy a tactical nuclear weaponand labelled the Russian President's threat as "irresponsible."
Newsweek reported Biden as saying, "Look, I have no intention of meeting with him. But, for example, if he came to me at the G20 and said, 'I want to talk about the release of Griner,' I would meet with him."
