 And outside Africa, U.S. President Joe Biden has departed for Britain on his first trip abroad since taking office an 8-day mission to rebuild transatlantic ties strained during the Trump era and to reframe relations with Russia. The trip represents a test of the Democratic President's ability to manage and repair relationships with major allies who go disenchanted with then-President Donald Trump's trade house and withdraw from international treaties. His summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on June 16 in Geneva is a capstone to the trip and opportunity to raise U.S. concerns directly with Putin about ransomware attacks emanating from Russia, Moscow's aggression against Ukraine and a host of other issues. Biden will make his first stop at the seaside village of St. Ives in Cornwall where he will participate in the G7 summit. Hello. Hope you enjoyed the news.
