    Biden to head to the G7 summit in Germany: WH

The White House announced that US President Joe Biden will travel to Germany on Saturday to attend the G7 Summit.

In a statement, the WH said that Biden and his G7 counterparts will discuss a wide array of global issues that it claimed were "the most pressing", which include G7 support for Ukraine, economic and democratic resilience, the climate crisis, the development of infrastructure, global health, and the ongoing energy and food crisis.

The G7 countries had held their last meeting in Germany last month, where they discussed the Ukraine war, China, and the situation in the Indo-Pacific region, Afghanistan, Africa, and West Asia.

The US president will then head to Madrid on June 28 for a NATO meeting, according to the WH.

The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock held a joint news conference on Friday ahead of the G7 summit.

During the news conference, Blinken said that the G7 summit “will focus intensely on our ongoing support for Ukraine, and some of the second-and third-order consequences of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine”.  

“In terms of support for Ukraine, the G7 has been remarkably united – starting from before Russia’s aggression when we worked together, first to find a diplomatic solution if there was one,” he added.

The two meetings come about four months after the start of the war in Ukraine, exposing Biden's leadership failures, particularly in sanctioning Moscow over its oil, on which Europe is more dependent than the US.

It is worth noting that Western nations have imposed harsh sanctions on Russia, but it is unclear how long they will remain in place in the face of skyrocketing inflation and high food prices.
