Biden to Meet Leaders of Japan, India and Australia in Anti-China "Quad Summit"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden is meeting virtually today with the leaders of Japan,
India and Australia for the first-ever Quad summit. Participating
nations said ahead of the meeting they will be discussing trade, the
climate crisis and vaccines, but the informal group is largely seen as a
strategic bloc against China. Beijing has accused the Quad of
perpetuating a Cold War mentality.
