The president will travel to Cornwall for the G7 summit, which takes place between 11 and 13 June.

President Biden's trip will focus on "restoring our alliances" and "revitalising the Transatlantic relationship", the White House said.

"This trip will highlight his commitment to restoring our alliances, revitalizing the transatlantic relationship, and working in close cooperation with our allies and multilateral partners to address global challenges and better secure America's interests," the president's press secretary said.
