DURING HIS first overseas trip as chief executive, President Biden met with foreign leaders at the G7 gathering in Cornwall, paid a visit to Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle, attended the NATO and European Union conclaves in Brussels, and is scheduled to sit down with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva on Wednesday. All that summiteering has put Biden somewhere he isn't usually to be found: smack in the middle of every news cycle.
