At the start of his first official trip to Russia, Biden warns against 'destructive activity.'

 


US President Joe Biden has begun his first official abroad tour by warning Russia that engaging in "destructive acts" will result in "strong and serious" consequences.
Following tense relations during the Trump administration, Mr Biden made it plain that he intends to rebuild connections with US allies.

On Wednesday, Vice President Joe Biden landed in the United Kingdom.

He'll meet with Prime Minister Boris Johnson to discuss a new "Atlantic Charter."
The agreement will be a modernized version of the 1941 agreement reached between Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt, with an emphasis on issues such as climate change and security.

Laura Kuenssberg, the BBC's political editor, believes the two are attempting to rekindle a vital friendship following the upheaval of the Trump years and the strains of the pandemic.

Mr. Biden will see the Queen at Windsor Castle, attend a G7 leaders' conference, and attend his first Nato summit as president during an eight-day European trip.

Mr. Biden will see Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva at the end of his tour.
