The White House and Buckingham Palace are planning for Biden and the queen to meet in the UK before he heads to a NATO meeting on June 14, the official said. This would be Biden’s first abroad trip outside the U.S. since the start of his term, during which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic halted international trips. The planned meeting comes after Queen Elizabeth’s husband, Prince Phillip, died in April at the age of 99. Biden and first lady Jill Biden sent their condolences to the Queen, according to the CNN report.
