FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 2021
Good morning, NBC News readers.
Today we ask what happens next after Wednesday's historic summit between Presidents Biden and Putin, we look at rising democratic participation among Asian Americans, and report from a Chinese space launch.
Here's the latest on that and everything else we're watching this Friday morning.
So, what now?
President Joe Biden met his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Wednesday amid intense scrutiny and fanfare — but there were few concrete outcomes.
However Biden did deliver a succinct message to his Russian counterpart: Stop messing with the U.S. and international norms. "The bottom line is I told President Putin that we need to have some basic rules," Biden said afterwards. "This is the road that we can all abide by."
Biden told reporters that he didn't threaten Putin directly but instead outlined 16 areas of "critical infrastructure" that he views as "off limits" to cyber or physical attack.
As NBC News' senior political analyst Jon Allen writes in a new analysis this morning, Biden's message is that he'll be watching what the Russian leader does next.
And here are some key takeaways from the summit.

One hot thing Temperatures at California's Death Valley reached a sweltering 129 degrees for the first time in 2021 this week — but that didn't stop hardy tourists from flocking to the desert for a photo opportunity.
That might be hot, but it doesn't meet the all-time record of 134 degrees reached there in 1913.
