The statement stated that President Biden will travel to the Polish capital of Warsaw on Friday, where he will hold a bilateral meeting with President Andrzej Duda.

Meanwhile, on March 23, Biden will travel to Brussels, Belgium.
On March 24, Biden will attend an extraordinary NATO Summit to discuss ongoing deterrence and defence efforts in response to Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified attack on Ukraine. The President will reaffirm our ironclad commitment to our NATO Allies and to defend every inch of NATO territory.
The President will attend a G7 meeting to further discuss with its Allies and partners the consequences of imposing on Russia for its war of choice.
Biden will also join a scheduled European Council Summit to discuss our shared concerns about Ukraine, including transatlantic efforts to impose economic costs on Russia, provide humanitarian support to those affected by the violence, and address other challenges related to the conflict.
