President heads to Japan on a trip truncated by potential U.S. default
“Biden promised our allies that we would be a more reliable partner, but it’s the U.S. that is defaulting on critical diplomatic duties,” said Brett Bruen, director of global engagement under former President Barack Obama. “It’s really bad for relations when the president says he will show up, we make a country go to all the security and set-up trouble preparing a major visit, but then he has to pull out at the last minute.
But National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said G-7 priorities have long included supporting Ukraine and taking steps to further isolate Russia. The group also has put an emphasis on issues important to Biden, like addressing climate change and strengthening ties with developing countries.
“Most of the G-7 desires putting forth a united front [on China] even if it is not a particularly hawkish united front,” said Ian Bremmer, the CEO of the Eurasia Group, a political risk consultancy.
