Biden's Asia trip cancellations draw criticism and praise.
TL;DR
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said President Biden's decision to cut his international trip short to return to Washington for debt ceiling negotiations doesn't undermine the US's strength on the international stage. Sullivan emphasized the historic outcomes of the G-7 summit and Biden's meetings with some of the US's closest Asian allies. The Treasury Department has warned of catastrophic economic consequences if the US defaults, and the White House and Congress are in talks on how to address the debt ceiling.
