Biden to host Quad leaders at his Wilmington home
President Joe Biden will host a Quad leaders summit with leaders from Australia, India and Japan on September 21.
But instead of holding the meeting at the White House, he’ll host it in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, the White House said on Thursday.
It marks the first time Biden will welcome foreign leaders to his home state.
He’ll welcome Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio. The four nations make up the Quad alliance, which has been a major focus for Biden in his efforts to combat China’s influence in the Pacific.
‘The Quad Leaders Summit will focus on bolstering the strategic convergence among our countries, advancing our shared vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific region, and delivering concrete benefits for partners in the Indo-Pacific in key areas,’ White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.
Last year’s Quad summit in Australia was scrapped after Biden canceled his trip there so he could be in Washington for negotiations over the debt ceiling. The leaders instead met at the 2023 G7 summit.
Feds determined to prevent an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2025
The federal government will dramatically increase security around the Capitol on January 6th, 2025 when lawmakers certify this November’s election in an effort to prevent another January 6th.
The Department of Homeland Security has designated the next certification — scheduled for Jan. 6, 2025 — a National Special Security Event, which puts the Secret Service in charge of security instead of U.S. Capitol Police, the Washington Post reported.
That is the date Congress will certify the presidential victory of either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.
The additional protections will likely include unscalable fencing going around the Capitol, call-up of the D.C. National Guard and additional officers deputized to work in Washington D.C.
The goal is to prevent a repeat of what happened four years before, when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 to stop the official certification of Joe Biden’s victory.
