Hiroshima: President Joe Biden tried to reassure world leaders on Saturday that the United States would not default as he consulted with the heads of Australia, Japan and India at a so-called Quad partnership meeting that has been hastily rescheduled because of the debt ceiling impasse in Washington. it was done. ,
In hopes of averting an outcome that would shake the global economy and prove to be a boon for Beijing, Biden The annual meeting of the world’s most powerful democracies began its third day in Japan with a briefing on the latest fits from its staff and talks on how to raise the federal debt limit.
The President also participated in meetings aimed at challenging China’s build-up in the Indo-Pacific. Quad members had originally planned to meet in Sydney the following week, but instead got together on the sidelines of the G7 to finalize a deal to raise the US borrowing limit before the government walks out. Hopefully Biden can return to Washington earlier on Sunday. Cash to pay your bills.
Biden said he thought talks with GOP lawmakers were underway.
“The first meetings were not so progressive, the second were, the third were,” he said before a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. “And then, what happens is the carriers go back to the principals and say, ‘This is what we’re thinking about.’ And then people make new claims. I still believe that we will be able to avoid default and we will do something good.”
Food was brought into the negotiating room at the US Capitol on Saturday morning, only to be taken away hours later, in a sign of a renewed bargaining session in Washington. No meeting was likely to take place on Saturday, according to a person familiar with the status of the talks, who was not authorized to discuss the situation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The short trip has reinforced a fundamental tension that has shaped Biden’s presidency: As he works to signal to the world that America is reclaiming a position of global leadership, at critical moments, Domestic dramas keep coming in the way.
Until Saturday, Biden had largely stayed out of the public eye, owing to big public statements and leaving Friday’s leader’s dinner early. He is spending time instead at a video monitor in a room next to his hotel suite, where aides in Washington have been keeping him informed on the back-and-forth of debt ceiling talks.
national security advisor Jake Sullivan acknowledged that world leaders have pressured Biden about the impasse in Washington. But press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that, while there was intense interest in how the president would resolve a domestic showdown that has geopolitical ramifications, there was no panic — at least not yet.
“This is not a hair-on-fire type of situation,” she said.
On the sidelines of the summit, Biden held talks with Albanese in exchange for a now-cancelled trip to Australia. US officials said the trip would be rescheduled, and Biden invited Albanese to Washington for a state visit.
Biden apologizes for leaving Australia. Albanese said he understood the circumstances.
“I would have done exactly that,” he told Biden, adding, “I’m very much looking forward to the state visit.”
The leaders signed a compact pledging to deepen their partnership on the development of raw materials used in clean energy technologies – as they seek to shift supplies away from reliance on China. They also issued a joint statement outlining new areas of cooperation in space, trade and defence.
G7 leaders also sat down to discuss their investment in infrastructure in less advanced economies, an important counterbalance to the loans and construction being provided by China. Biden said the US has raised more than $30 billion in investment so far “and we’re just getting started.”
During a plenary meeting with all Quad leaders in the evening, Biden reiterated his apologies for needing to move his gathering to Japan.
The president is sending US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to fill his spot at Monday’s summit of Pacific island nations in Papua New Guinea. That leg of the presidency was also canceled to get Biden back to Washington more quickly.
Biden’s visit would have been the first by a US president to the country. Those countries are being aggressively courted by the US and China as the two powers compete for influence in parts of the world where shipping lanes are vital.
In Hiroshima, Biden and other world leaders agreed on a shared framework for improving their own economic resilience – a recognition that high levels of trade with China poses more of a risk than an opportunity for mature economies.
Sullivan Said that the G7 leaders were acknowledging that “we want to cooperate with China on matters of mutual interest. And also that we will work to address our important concerns that we have with China in a number of areas”. ” He reiterated a phrase often used by G7 leaders that the group wants to “de-risk, not disengage from, China.”
