Air Force One landed at Mildenhall Airport in Great Britain just before 9pm Swedish time. In the evening, Joe and his wife, Jill Biden, meet with US military families stationed there – before the official project begins outside Saint Ives in Cornwall, southwest England.
The leaders of the G7 nations will meet for a summit this weekend at a hotel complex near the rolling beaches. But already on Thursday, Biden has his own meeting with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Show United Front
There can be little doubt what the message of the trip will be: four years after the isolated policies of Representative Donald Trump, the United States is back on the world stage. Moreover, in addition to the epidemic and vaccine challenges facing the world, the United States and other democracies must show a united front against Russia and China.
“This issue is important for our time,” the president said Discussion article In the Washington Post before the trip.
“Can the democratic alliances and institutions that have shaped most of the last century deal with the threats and enemies of our modern age? I think the answer is yes. We have a chance to prove it in Europe this week.”
Meets Putin
Russia was a particular topic of discussion at the NATO summit in Brussels on Monday. Before Biden leaves, he and his wife meet Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle. Jill Biden then returns to the United States.
On Tuesday, a meeting with EU leaders awaits, mainly on epidemiology, the economy and various ways to strengthen the Atlantic relationship.
Joe Biden’s trip to the summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin ends next Wednesday in Geneva, Switzerland – which is predicted to be frozen.
“I understand what he needs to understand,” he says on the first night of his overseas trip.
After meeting with his Russian envoy, the President traveled directly to Washington, D.C.
