“After a lot of commentary in recent weeks about the state of transatlantic relationship, the United States and Europe head into these two summits aligned and united on the major elements of the global agenda,” Sullivan said, alluding to the recent flare up. Following the announcement of the US’ new national security partnership with the United Kingdom and Australia, the French government swiftly recalled its ambassadors to Washington and Canberra. It will be their first face-to-face meeting since Biden’s agreement to provide Australia with nuclear-powered submarines shook the relationship between the two longtime allies. The President will also meet with French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday. “They will have a chance just to reflect, each of them, on their view of what’s happening in the world, policy issues,” Sullivan said at a White House press briefing.īiden and the Pope are expected to discuss climate change, migration and income inequality, among other issues, according to Sullivan. This will be the fourth time the President and the Pope meet, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Tuesday, noting the two have also exchanged letters. His first official stop will be to Vatican City on Friday to meet with Pope Francis.
The President departs Washington on Thursday and will head to Rome for the Group of 20 Summit.
