HIROSHIMA, Japan — Wrapping up a summit of the world's wealthiest democracies here Sunday, President Joe Biden had domestic trouble on his mind — the flagging U.S. debt talks — but also addressed the administration's most pressing international concerns: Ukraine and China.
Biden announced another package of military aid for Ukraine, including $375 million in armored combat vehicles and artillery. And he predicted U.S.-China relations, at one of their lowest points in decades, will soon improve.
The Group of 7 nations used their annual gathering to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine nearly 15 months ago, reiterate their solid support for Kyiv and implore China to be more constructive in ending the war and in reining in its own aggressive actions toward Taiwan.
