U.S. President Biden arrives in Europe ahead of G20 & COP26

U.S. President Joe Biden has landed in Europe ahead of two major summits with world leaders

Biden landed in Rome, where he will hold talks with leaders at the G20 summit, where plans for a global minimum tax will be on the agenda.

The President however left his $2.75 trillion domestic agenda in limbo back in Washington, where he had hoped to trumpet a bumper environmental package to other world leaders at a UK climate conference.

But Biden’s Democratic colleagues abandoned plans for a vote on Thursday, leaving his whole platform up in the air.

Mr Biden, whose approval rating has been falling, said his presidency itself was hanging in the balance.

America’s second Catholic president will also meet Pope Francis at the Vatican on Friday.
