NATO's 75th anniversary summit, in Washington

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden said on Thursday he has no reason to talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin right now unless the Russian leader changes his behavior.

Biden, at a solo news conference ending the NATO summit, said "Putin's got a problem" because Russia has not been successful in its two-and-a-half year war against Ukraine.

"I have no good reason to talk to Putin right now," Biden said.
