WASHINGTON D.C. (TIP): President Biden said he would talk with President Vladimir Putin if the Russian leader expressed a desire to end his invasion of Ukraine, but Mr. Biden said he would do so only in consultation with NATO allies. “I’m prepared if he’s willing to talk to find out what he’s willing to do,” Mr. Biden said during a news conference at the White House following a three-hour meeting with President Emmanuel Macron of France. “But I’ll only do it in consultation with my NATO allies. I’m not going to do it on my own.”
