 Biden missed the summit's dinner party in a medieval castle, an off-camera and less scripted part of the summit in which leaders often exchange views more candidly. He was the only G7 leader not to attend the meal. The next day, Biden followed through on his plans to forego a Swiss peace summit on Ukraine and attend a California fundraiser instead. Top White House officials disputed any portrait of a president slipping during his European trip, which included 12-hour days chock-full of meetings. He didn't miss a beat, said Dilip Singh, the Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economics.
