Biden Looks To "Revitalise" Ties At European Union Video Summit

Biden last month declared that the "transatlantic alliance is back" in a powerful speech in which he insisted the US was "determined to reengage with Europe".

President Joe Biden will join the European Union summit by video link on Thursday, as the new US leader looks to "revitalise" ties that frayed under predecessor Donald Trump. "Time to rebuild our transatlantic alliance," declared European Council president and summit host Charles Michel. The White House said Biden would seek "to revitalise US-EU relations, work together to combat the pandemic and address climate change, and deepen the world's largest trade and investment relationship". "He will also discuss shared foreign policy interests, including China and Russia," it added.
