“I’m confident we’ll be able to do it. We don’t have any specific time or place. That’s being worked on,” Biden said at the White House on Friday.

The White House has indicated there’s a possibility of a Biden-Putin meeting next month while the president is in Europe for the Group of Seven (G-7) summit.

Biden is traveling to Cornwall in the United Kingdom for the summit, and he also plans to stop in Belgium for meetings with European and NATO leaders.

While both sides have said a meeting would take place in a country other than the U.K. and Belgium while Biden is in Europe, discussions on a summit are ongoing, White House spokeswoman Jen PsakiJen PsakiBiden ‘confident’ meeting with Putin will take place soon Sinema urges Biden to take ‘bold’ action at border: ‘This is a crisis’ The Hill’s 12:30 Report – Presented by ExxonMobil – More states are passing voting restrictions MORE told reporters.

“We’re working through the question of some logistics, place, location, time, agenda, all the specifics, that was always going to happen at a staff level. It’s really up to them what they want to achieve,” Psaki said Friday.

A Biden-Putin summit would likely hit on an array of topics, including Russia’s beefed up military presence along its border with Ukraine, the treatment of opposition leader Alexei Navalny and Moscow’s interference in recent U.S. elections.

However, the White House said Russia’s widely criticized handling of those issues will not stop a meeting between the two presidents.
