Joe Biden will meet Boris Johnson on Thursday ahead of the Group of Seven summit, where they will commit to resume travel between the U.K. and U.S. as quickly as possible. How soon remains very much an open question.
The two leaders will meet for the first time in Cornwall, southwestern England, and launch a joint task force to explore options to resume travel between their countries. Before the coronavirus pandemic, more than 5 million Britons visited the U.S. and over 4.5 million Americans visited the U.K. every year, according to figures released by Johnson’s office.
