Biden heads to Cambodia after COP27

After US President Joe Biden spoke at an annual international summit on climate change, urging world leaders to “double down” on their resolve to fight global warming, he is heading toward Cambodia on the second leg of his trip.

Next up - a meeting of Southeast Asian leaders and then Indonesia for the annual Group of 20 Summit of the world’s largest economies. The president's brief attendance at the United Nations climate conference, known as COP27, was largely a victory lap as he emphasized new spending on clean energy initiatives that will “change the paradigm” for the United States and the rest of the world.

Biden spent just three hours in Egypt, including a meeting with the country's autocratic leader, President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, before continuing on an around-the-world trip. After attending an ASEAN meeting and the East Asia Summit in Cambodia, Biden will also attend the annual gathering of the Group of 20 industrialized nations, in Indonesia from Nov. 14-16.
