Both leaders agreed to return their ambassadors to each other's capitals, signaling a move to restore diplomatic channels after a period of strained relations.
Biden raised human rights issues, notably the case of jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, and warned of "devastating" consequences, while Putin deflected by criticizing U.S. internal issues like Black Lives Matter.
The presidents acknowledged a shared responsibility for nuclear stability and committed to holding talks regarding potential adjustments to their recently extended New START arms limitation treaty.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
