Geneva will spend today in another type of lockdown. Security is tight ahead of the meeting between the US and the Russian presidents.
Joe Biden is already in town – he spent the night at the Hotel Intercontinental – Vladimir Putin is due to arrive early this afternoon.
The US president was welcomed yesterday at Geneva Airport with full honours – greeted by the Swiss president Guy Parmelin and other national and cantonal leaders.
It’s been noted that Biden was not wearing a mask – in the United States mask wearing requirements have been lifted for those who have been vaccinated.
The 35-vehicle presidential motorcade then whisked him to the hotel along roads that had been closed beforehand.
Putin has declined any formal welcoming ceremony when he arrives later today.
