The president was leaving the stage as the White House correspondent yelled the question at him.

Appearing irate, Biden quickly turned back and began to approach the pool of reporters to answer the question.

"I'm not confident I'm going to change his behavior," the president snapped.

"What the hell? What do you do all the time? When did I say I was confident?"

The president was holding his finger up as he confronted Collins, telling her "let's get it straight."

"I said what will change their behavior, is if the rest of the world reacts to them and diminishes the standing new world," he said, before hammering home. "I'm not confident of anything, I'm just stating the facts."

The anchor then followed up saying that Putin denied being involved in cyberattacks and refused to say Alexei Navalny's name, asking Biden "so how does that account to a constructive meeting?"

"If you don't understand that, then you're in the wrong business," Biden hit back at the journalist, putting his hand up at her before walking away.

Following the press conference, Biden issued an apology to the reporter.

"I owe my last questioner an apology," he said. "I shouldn’t have been such a wiseguy with the last answer I gave."

Collins said that the apology was "completely unnecessary" but said she "appreciates that he did there in front of the other reporters."

Biden delivered a solo press conference on the Putin meeting after the Russian leader first gave his own briefing.

The US President had reportedly been advised by Russian experts not to hold a joint appearance with Putin.

"I told President Putin my agenda is not against Russia or anyone else.," Biden began. "It's for the American people."

"I also told him that no President of the United States could keep faith with the American people if they did not speak out to defend our democratic values," Biden continued.

The US President said that Russia is "not able to dictate what happens in the world."

"There are other nations of significant consequence, i.e., the United States of America being one of them," he said, adding that the US will continue to address "fundamental human rights" with Russia.

"That's who we are," he insisted.

"We haven't lived up to it completely, but we've always widened the arc."
