President Joe Biden’s meeting with leaders of the G7 leading industrial economies in an English seaside village this week will usher in a new focus on rallying U.S. allies against common adversaries – the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia and China.
The gathering will put Biden’s “America is back” motto to the test, with allies disillusioned during the Trump years looking for tangible, lasting action.Russia will be at the forefront of attention at the G7 summit in Cornwall, England, and the days afterward when Biden meets with European leaders and NATO allies in Brussels, before heading to Geneva to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Biden’s meeting with Putin is not a “reward” for Putin but instead the most effective way to hear directly from him to understand and manage the differences between Washington and Moscow, Sullivan said.Biden will also stress the importance of NATO countries’ burden-sharing and the need for allies to contribute to alliance exercises and operations, Sullivan said. He added that the United States will respond if Russia’s “harmful” activities against Washington continue.
On the sidelines of a NATO summit in Brussels on June 14, Biden is also expected to meet with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, a crucial session between the sparring NATO allies after Ankara’s purchase of Russian defense systems angered Washington and risked driving a wedge within the alliance.
