Joe Biden: Coronation no-show

U.S. President Joe Biden will not attend the coronation of King Charles next month, according to the Telegraph, which claims there are concerns he is too old to travel across the Atlantic twice in a month, and wants instead to prioritize an April 11 trip to Northern Ireland.

Biden is “not expected” to join dozens of heads of state for the event, sources told the paper, and will send a delegation featuring “high-profile representatives” in his place. First Lady Jill Biden may go, with her husband reportedly keen to avoid any sense the event is being snubbed.
