WASHINGTON — Over dinner at the lush Getty Villa in Los Angeles, where curators have recreated a classical Roman home overlooking the Pacific, President Joe Biden had a rare opportunity to speak with leaders from across the Americas all together and in private.
He put his prepared remarks aside. The first thing he wanted to talk about was Russia.
“What Russia does in Ukraine has an impact on the entire world,” Biden told leaders sitting beside their spouses, free of staff or press.
