Biden tackles debt ceiling crisis at G-7 summit.

President Biden's trip to Japan, intended to rally allies against China's growing influence, was overshadowed by questions about the debt limit crisis in Washington. The surprise appearance of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the G-7 summit also took center stage. Despite the distractions, the G-7 leaders issued a strong statement criticizing China and calling on it to press Russia to stop its military aggression in Ukraine. Biden's expected stops in Papua New Guinea and Australia were canceled due to the debt limit crisis, but he held an abbreviated meeting with Quad leaders in Hiroshima. Biden is now focused on finding a way to avoid a historic and potentially catastrophic default.
