Biden and Modi share moment at G7 summit in Hiroshima.

President Biden and other G-7 leaders visited the Peace Memorial Museum in Hiroshima, Japan, to pay tribute to the victims of the atomic bombings in August 1945. The visit was a reminder of the threat of nuclear destruction, with Russia, North Korea, Iran, and China all pursuing nuclear weapons. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida had hoped to push for nuclear disarmament, but Putin's threat of nuclear retaliation has only bolstered the G-7 countries' policy of deterrence. The G-7 members released a statement condemning Russia's nuclear rhetoric and undermining of arms control as "dangerous and unacceptable," but offered no new ideas or actions to reduce the threat of nuclear war.
