US President Joe Biden arrived in Britain on Wednesday to start the first foreign trip of his presidency. He will participate in the G-7 summit to be held in Cornwell during which he will meet his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. Biden arrived on board the presidential plane at Mildenhall Air Force Base. He will have a one-to-one meeting with British PM Boris Johnson on Thursday.
During the G7 summit, some specific issues like the availability of corona vaccine, trade, climate change and rebuilding of infrastructure in developing countries will be discussed. Let us tell you that this conference is taking place at a time when many countries and global organizations are constantly urging rich countries to donate their extra doses of vaccines to poor countries. Significantly, along with the US, Britain has also talked about donating the vaccine. But it has not disclosed how much does it will be supplying to other countries. At the same time, the US has announced to supply 20 million vaccine doses to other countries.
After the conference, Joe Biden and Jill will visit Windsor Castle to meet the Queen of Britain. After that, he is scheduled to visit Belgium and then Switzerland. On Thursday, he will meet British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in Carbis Bay. Earlier on Wednesday, when he landed at Mildenhall in Suffolk, US Army officers were present to welcome him. US First Lady Jill Biden was also present with President Biden. On this occasion, Biden said that America is back and democracies around the world stand shoulder to shoulder with us to face every challenge. He also said that we have to think about our people in every situation and preserve our values for the future as well.
