Biden sets off to Europe on first foreign trip as president

President Biden is heading to Europe on Wednesday on his first foreign trip as president as the administration strives to emphasize relationships with U.S. allies. 

While there, he will participate in both the G7 and NATO summits, as well as an EU-U.S. Summit. Mr. Biden's key message to allies has been that America is back, after former President Trump at times mocked leaders of the nation's closest allies and championed an "America first" platform. The White House says this trip will focus on America's commitment to rallying world democracies and defending shared values.  But the most closely-watched part of the president's trip will be next week when Mr. Biden has a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The engagement promises particularly high stakes, especially given recent ransomware attacks in the U.S. committed by hackers that U.S. intelligence officials say are in Russia.
