Pres. Biden To Depart On Weeklong Trip To Europe

President Joe Biden will embark on his first overseas trip to Europe on Wednesday, aiming to reset relations with some of America's closest allies.

President Joe Biden will use his first overseas trip in office as a chance to restart friendships with European and NATO allies after four years of tense relations under former President Donald Trump.  "The trip, at its core, will advance the fundamental thrust of Joe Biden's foreign policy: to rally the world's democracies to tackle the great challenges of our time," said National Security advisor Jake Sullivan.  The President is scheduled to attend the G7 Summit in Cornwall, England from June 11th to the 13th -- where ending the pandemic, providing assistance for developing nations, and corporate taxes will be at the top of the agenda. After that wraps he and the First Lady will meet with Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle.
