President Biden cancels Australia visit to continue US debt limit talks
Fox News
President Biden is postponing his visits to Papua New Guinea and Australia as the U.S. is in jeopardy of defaulting on its debts. He will still visit Japan for a G-7 summit.
He would have been the first sitting U.S. president to visit Papua New Guinea, where he was originally expected to be in the capital of Port Moresby to witness the signing of a new strategic agreement with Micronesia and meet with 18 Pacific island leaders.
The president had planned to visit Sydney, Australia, next week for the annual Quad Leaders' Summit to meet with the leaders of Australia, Japan and India to discuss initiatives to counter China's rising influence in the Indo-Pacific region.
