CNSNews.com) – President Biden’s much-anticipated summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin could go on for four or five hours, but there are no plans for a working meal.

“No breaking of bread,” a senior U.S. administration official briefing told reporters on Air Force One on background as the president flew from Brussels to Geneva for Wednesday’s encounter.

But while no meals are planned, “we’ve agreed with the other side that there will be some flexibility just so that the leaders can make determinations about the best way to conduct their business,” the official said.

Meeting at a historical villa located in a Geneva park, Biden and Putin will first hold talks accompanied only by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, plus interpreters.

They will then break out into a bigger session, with about five officials on each side.

Once the summit is over, Biden and Putin are expected to hold separate press conferences, with the Russian president expected to go first, the administration official said.

A left-wing reporter slammed President Joe Biden on Wednesday over his outburst directed at a cable news reporter earlier in the day, suggesting that perhaps Biden was in the wrong business if he could not answer basic questions from the media.

“If you’re the most powerful person in the world and you can’t field questions from the media without losing your temper, maybe you’re in the wrong business,” New York Magazine writer Olivia Nuzzi tweeted. “What kind of example does it set for other countries when the president of the United States insults a member of the free press on an international stage for asking a fair question in good faith?”
