US President Joe Biden will embark on his first overseas trip in office in June, the White House has announced, with the aim of demonstrating his administration’s commitment to the transatlantic alliance and re-engagement with key allies.

Mr Biden will attend the Group of Seven summit in Cornwall, England, set for June 11-13, followed by a visit to Brussels, where he will hold meetings with the European Union leadership and attend the June 14 summit of leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato).
