In a disappointing turn of events, President Biden finally met with King Charles III in the U.K. after snubbing the monarch’s coronation earlier this year. The meeting took place at Windsor Castle, following Biden’s discussion with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at 10 Downing Street. This encounter marks the beginning of a week of European diplomacy for the American president.
While the Biden administration claims that the focus of these meetings is on climate issues and Ukraine, the details of their conversations remain a mystery to the public. It is concerning that the American people are kept in the dark about what transpires during these crucial diplomatic discussions.
Notably, Biden’s meeting with Sunak came on the heels of a disagreement over the delivery of cluster munitions to Ukraine. The U.K., a signatory to a convention prohibiting the production or use of such munitions, expressed reservations about their deployment. Sunak, in an interview with U.K. media, emphasized the importance of adhering to international agreements while still supporting Ukraine against Russia’s aggression.
Biden himself acknowledged the risks associated with cluster munitions, as they have the potential to cause civilian casualties and pose long-term threats even after conflicts end. However, he defended his decision, referring to it as a temporary measure until more traditional munitions can be provided.
It is disconcerting to witness such hasty decision-making by the Biden administration. This move raises questions about their commitment to international agreements and their ability to navigate delicate diplomatic situations. The lack of transparency in the meetings with King Charles III and Prime Minister Sunak further exacerbates concerns.
As Republicans, we expect our leaders to prioritize America’s interests while upholding our values and maintaining strong alliances. The Biden administration’s handling of these meetings leaves much to be desired. We hope that moving forward, the president will learn from these missteps and prioritize American exceptionalism in his diplomatic endeavors.
