Biden: Beijing Winter Olympics ‘diplomatic boycott’ review

US President Joe Biden has announced that he is considering a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

During a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the White House yesterday (18th local time), President Biden said, “We are considering it” when asked about the diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics, which is scheduled to be held in February next year.

Earlier, President Biden held his first video summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping since taking office, but the Beijing Olympics were not included in the discussion topic.

Shortly after the meeting, some US media reported that the US was considering a diplomatic boycott, sending a delegation but not an official delegation.
