WASHINGTON -- Despite a presidency that was often consumed by Afghanistan, Ukraine and Gaza, U.S. President Joe Biden will circle back to his initial focus on the Indo-Pacific by inviting the leaders of the Quad to his personal home in Wilmington, Delaware this weekend.

A National Security Council spokesperson confirmed with Nikkei Asia that Biden will hold bilateral meetings with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at his home.
