U.S. President Joe Biden will not visit Nagasaki during his May trip to Japan for the Group of Seven summit meeting in Hiroshima due to scheduling difficulties, according to Japanese government sources.
Tokyo and Washington had held discussions following an informal request from the U.S. side for Biden to visit the atomic-bombed city but concluded that it would be difficult to secure a date, the sources said Thursday.
Had the plan come to fruition, it would have been the first time for a sitting U.S. president to visit Nagasaki.
