Significance They are expected to discuss preparations for a presidential summit which is taking shape for next month, reportedly on June 15-16, despite harsh rhetoric, reciprocal sanctions and diplomatic expulsions. Impacts The Biden team's approach to relations seeks gradual improvement but no radical 're-set'. There is little point in Biden trying to enlist Russian support for containing China; it would take incentives he cannot afford. The Arctic could become a zone of cooperation rather than security contestation more than in past years.
