Biden Honors Hiroshima Bomb Victims in Silence.

President Biden joined other world leaders in laying wreaths at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial to pay tribute to the victims of the first atomic bomb used in warfare. The visit served as a symbolic opener to this year’s G7 summit meeting of major industrial democracies, where the war in Ukraine will be a major topic of discussion. The world is seeing more nuclear arms being built and fewer constraints being imposed on their spread, raising fears of Armageddon. The importance of going to Hiroshima is not just about the symbolism, but also using the legacy of Hiroshima to remind people that these weapons are devastating and should never again be used.
