Security tight at Cairo COP27 ahead of Biden visit

U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to join global leaders in Egypt on Friday at the U.N. climate conference COP27. His attendance at COP27, in the resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh, is the first stop on an around-the-world trip that will also take him to a meeting of Southeast Asian leaders in Cambodia and a Group of 20 summit meeting for leaders of the world’s largest economies in Bali, Indonesia.

At the climate conference, Biden will spotlight one of his key domestic successes - the Democrats’ massive health care and climate change bill known as the Inflation Reduction Act. While in Egypt, Biden will hold a bilateral meeting with the Egyptian President to discuss the two nations' strategic partnership.
