President Biden will take part in a pair of global summits. He had hope to have major domestic legislation finalized before leaving.

(AP) - President Biden will take part in a 5 day trip to Europe and visit Rome and then Scotland.

He had hoped to finalize a budget before leaving but if he doesn't, he'll work by phone with lawmakers from overseas.

Lawmakers have been working overnight and the President plans to meet with them this morning.

There is talk that he may delay his departure time and address the nation first.

The President will head first to Rome and then to Glasgow, Scotland. He will be pressed to deliver concrete ideas for stopping a global pandemic, boosting economic growth and halting the acceleration of climate change.

Biden, who planned to deliver East Room remarks before leaving Washington on Thursday, has promised to align U.S. diplomacy with the interests of the middle class. This has tied any success abroad to his efforts to get Congress to advance his environmental, tax, infrastructure and social policies. It could be harder to get the world to commit to his stated goals if Americans refuse to fully embrace them.
