Biden loses his ‘America is Back’ strut as domestic woes overshadow G-7 summit

A year ago, President Biden strode into Europe declaring “America is back,” but now he’s making the rounds at a summit in Germany as a hobbled leader while western allies openly take swipes at the U.S.

Mr. Biden arrived in the Bavarian Alps for a summit with the heads of the seven largest global economies, known as the Group of Seven. He’s trying to reaffirm world leaders’ support for Ukraine as it continues to fend off Russian invaders.

But that message has been undercut by Mr. Biden’s domestic woes, which have left him a much weaker leader than he was at last year’s summit.
