Biden Bound for Global Summits as Domestic Agenda in Limbo
October 28, 2021
(WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden promised to show the world that democracies can work to meet the challenges of the 21st century. As he prepares to push that message at a pair of global summits, his case could hinge on what’s happening in Washington, where he is rushing to finalize a major domestic legislative package.

The Watch Post summarizes Joe Biden's meeting agenda below using excerpts from the original article.
Headed first to Rome, Biden, the nation’s second Catholic president, will meet Friday with Pope Francis at the Vatican in a visit that is part personal for the intensely religious commander in chief and part policy, particularly around matters of climate and confronting autocracies.
Then on to Glasgow, Scotland, for the climate summit, Biden will deliver a significant address on climate change that he hopes will reclaim the mantle of American leadership on the matter. Biden will lead a large U.S. delegation that he hopes will showcase America’s plans to address the threat of climate change. It’s a sharp reversal from former President Donald Trump, who withdrew the U.S. from the Paris climate accord.
Biden will also pay a visit to the Italian hosts of the G-20 summit before he sits down with French President Emmanuel Macron. Biden is trying to close a rift with France created when the U.S. and U.K. agreed to provide nuclear-powered submarines to Australia, supplanting a French contract in the process.
Biden is also expected to meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who backed down just days ago from threats to expel Western diplomats and whose purchase of Russian surface-to-air missiles has upended his country’s participation in the F-35 fighter program.
In other meetings, Biden is expected to address the Iranian nuclear threat, and Iran’s announcement that it could return to talks next month in Vienna.

Watch Post Commentary: It is unclear why the AP writers who authored this article identify Joe Biden as "intensely religious," especially given the president's support of a so-called vaccine that triggers countless persons of faith because it was made using cells from aborted babies. Christians view abortion as an act of murder. Perhaps the writers' reference to religion refers to Biden's adherence to climate change as a religion. The phrase, "follow the science," has become the mantra for those engaged in the science-as-a-religion belief system since the COVID scare of the last two years. The pope himself has increasingly referred to mother earth and creation with the kind of reverence one normally assigns only to a god.
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature (creation) more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen (Rom 1:25).
On another note, conspicuously absent in the president's planned agenda are visits with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. China continues to ignore the climate change rules that Biden and other globalists are pushing on nations around the world. It has also been a source of extreme tension because of its apparent intent to ignore Taiwan's national sovereignty and invade the country. One would think the importance of coming to the aid of an ally (Taiwan) might render a meeting with China's leader a little more important to the US president.
