The US president Joe Biden addressing reporters after his summit with Russian president Vladimir Putin said: "We don't derive our rights from the government, we possess them because we are born with it."

"I made it clear that we are going to continue to raise the issue of fundamental rights and Navalny."

"I made it clear to him we will not tolerate the violence of democratic sovereignty, we need to have some basic rules of the road," the US President told reporters.

"I intended to discuss the issue of strategic stability and I did, I'm glad we agreed to bilateral strategic stability dialogue."

"We discussed cyber security and we agreed to work together to make sure Iran doesn't acquire nuclear weapons," the US president said. 

"Our problems are the same as theirs," he said.

Biden while describing the meeting with President Putin said: "The meeting was pretty straightforward, there is no substitute to face to face talks."

"I told Putin my agenda is not against Russia, it's for the American people."

"Human rights is in the DNA of our people. It is always going to be on the table," the US President asserted.

The US president was asked on Putin comparing events with the Black Lives Matter protests, Biden said: "That's a ridiculous comparison."

When asked if he trusts Putin, Biden said: "This is not about trust. It's about self interest."

The reporters asked Biden on the media environment in Russia, the president replied: "I cannot make the judgement. I don't think he is into changing, he is into what the government does."

"Russia had the chance to implement a fair government, Putin decided that Russia is based on unity and not on ideological differences. Russia is based on government control but I do understand that this did not help them to land as one of the great nations in the world."

He added that: "There is a genuine prospect for things to work between us, there were no threats, just simple assertions." 

"We talked about basic fundamental things, I explained things on a personal basis, we just let each other know what we expected," the US president said on his meeting with Putin.

Biden informed that Putin was dedicated towards helping Afghanistan and Iran

"Confidence matters to Putin, his credibility worldwide shrinks when Russia meddles in other countries," the US president told reporters during the press conference.

"We discussed concerns on Ukraine and Belarus, I did what I came to do," the US president said.

"I came to communicate directly to clearly lay out our nation's values and he heard it from me," Biden said.

"The meting was close to four hours, where we disagreed we stated."

"I hope the US is showing the world we are back, standing with our allies, taking on the biggest challenges in the world," the US president said.

"We've gotten a lot of business done on this trip, this is about how we move from here
this is about practical, forward, no-nonsense decisions," Biden said.
