Coming up: President Biden goes on his first international trip since taking office. He's headed to the U.K. on Wednesday. First for a meeting with UK PM Boris Johnson & then onward to the G7 Summit. A meeting w/ Queen Elizabeth II is on deck too. More later for @CourthouseNews.
The goal for Biden during the G7 Summit this week and ahead of the NATO Summit next week is to restore diplomatic trust & friendships with U.S. allies after 4 yrs of isolationist policy/rhetoric from Trump.
But it's not all glad-handing.
But it's not all glad-handing.
The world is still experiencing a pandemic. The U.S. has pulled its forces out of Afghanistan. There are concerns over China and how the U.S. can compete against the world power. Then there's Russia. Biden's 1st meeting with Putin is next week and the world will be watching.
Then there's climate. The G7 Summit will also be a chance for the U.S. to refocus and reinvigorate conversations around lowering emissions and increasing global investment in renewable projects.
