The White House says President Biden will meet Saturday with leaders of the Quad alliance on the sidelines of the Group of Seven nations summit in Japan, making up for Mr. Biden scrapping plans to attend a Quad meeting next week in Australia.
Mr. Biden will manage to join the third-ever Quad Leaders’ session with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of Australia, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida of Japan and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
Mr. Biden canceled the post-G7 trip to Indo-Pacific nations because he wanted to return to Washington for negotiations to raise the U.S. government’s $31.4 trillion debt limit
The Quad is a partnership of major economies that formed in large part to deter Chinese aggression in the Pacific region.
The president was supposed to stop in Papua New Guinea and Australia after the G7 meetings in Hiroshima. Mr. Biden is now trying to make amends
