The American president will be attending the G7 gathering in Cornwall, which will be held in Carbis Bay from June 11 to June 13, as part of an eight-day trip to Europe. Having taken up his post in the Oval Office in January, the coronavirus pandemic has limited opportunities for Mr Biden to travel outside the US, meaning the G7 gathering will be his first foreign engagement in person. World leaders from the G7 nations will be discussing a range of issues from climate change to tackling the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The nations involved are the UK, the US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan. Mr Biden and his wife, First Lady Jill Biden, are expected to arrive in the UK at some point on Wednesday. He will then have his first meeting with prime minister Boris Johnson on Thursday ahead of the summit starting on Friday. In Cornwall, US Marine helicopters have been seen flying around the Tregenna Castle Resort, where leaders will be staying, ahead of the president's arrival, Cornwall Live reports. Presidential helicopter Marine One will transport Mr Biden from Cornwall Airport Newquay down to Carbis Bay for the summit.
