Biden misses NATO leaders dinner due to packed agenda.
President Joe Biden’s Busy Schedule
President Joe Biden has opted out of a dinner with his NATO counterparts in Vilnius, Lithuania, citing his busy schedule abroad. Despite not attending the dinner, Biden’s presence is still being represented by Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
At 80 years old, Biden’s schedule has been a topic of discussion. His staff has made accommodations to ensure that he is not physically taxed, scheduling most of his public appearances between noon and 4 p.m. and leaving him alone on weekends as much as possible.
On this particular day, Biden participated in NATO ceremonial activities, attended the heads of state and government meeting, and had bilateral sit-downs with Presidents Gitanas Nauseda of Lithuania and Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey.
Tomorrow, Biden has more NATO meetings, including the NATO-Ukraine Council, and will deliver remarks before heading to Helsinki, Finland for the U.S.-Nordic Leaders Summit and its sideline engagements.
Meeting with Erdogan
Biden’s meeting with President Erdogan came after the Turkish president announced his support for Sweden becoming a NATO member, a change in stance after a year of opposition. During their meeting, Erdogan wished Biden the best of luck in the forthcoming elections and expressed his anticipation for the next five years of collaboration.
President Biden’s packed schedule reflects his commitment to international engagements and his dedication to strengthening alliances.
