Washington, President Joe Biden of the United States of America (USA) will meet with allies in Germany and Spain in late June.

The White House announced today that President Biden will travel to southern Germany on 25 June 2022 to attend a Group of Seven summit (G7) of leaders of the world’s major industrialized nations. After the meeting in the Bavarian Alps, the US president will go to Madrid on 28 June 2022 to participate in a gathering of NATO member countries.

The twin summits are being held around the four-month anniversary of Ukrainian crisis.

Biden’s efforts to impose and sustain crippling sanctions on Russia are also facing renewed threat amid rising global inflation and supply shocks to the energy and food markets. The US president also wants to secure admission to the NATO alliance for Sweden and Finland, but first must help overcome opposition from NATO member Turkey.

The G-7 members are the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan. Leaders will discuss their support for Ukraine, climate change, global health security, and the food and energy crisis worsened by Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine, White House said in a statement.

NATO leaders are set to endorse plans to guide the alliance’s transformation over the next decade, including strengthening deterrence and defense, addressing transnational threats such as cyber and climate, and deepening partnerships with partners in Europe and Asia.
