Biden's Asia-Pacific Visit Cut Short Due to Debt Ceiling Crisis.
TL;DR Summary
US President Joe Biden canceled his historic visit to Papua New Guinea, which would have been the first visit by a sitting US president to any Pacific Island nation. The visit was canceled to focus on debt limit talks at home. Papua New Guinea had declared next Monday a public holiday in anticipation of the visit. However, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will still meet with Pacific Island leaders to discuss ways to better cooperate. The cancellation demonstrated how domestic US politics can undermine the nation’s foreign policy agenda.
