NUSA DUA, Indonesia — President Biden and other world leaders convened an emergency meeting here to discuss the explosion in Poland, which rattled some of the discussions as leaders awoke to learn of the attack.
Biden this morning had been expected to join other leaders in planting a mangrove tree and participating in a ceremonial photo, but those events were delayed as he and other allies convened at the Grand Hyatt, where Biden has been staying.
In a conference room, Biden and other leaders sat around an oval table with placards displaying attending countries. Leaders of several NATO nations – France, Germany, Spain, Canada, Britain, Italy and the Netherlands – joined leaders of Japan, the European Union and the European Commission.
