Joe Biden dazzles G7 as he cuts fresh US image at coastal summit

Joe Biden can fairly claim to have brought his own style of leadership to the narrow roads of the Cornwall peninsula at the G7 summit.

The US leader was the most visible of the foreign guests at the meeting. He was spotted in the evening at a cafe and ventured into the hilly streets of St Ives to attend Sunday mass. The pictures of Emmanuel Macron hugging him tightly and Angela Merkel laughing by his side translated into a triumph for the US leader and his personal style.
