US President Joe Biden is likely to skip the Peace Summit in Switzerland next month because it overlaps with a campaign fundraiser in California.

The American president should attend this event together with actors George Clooney, Julia Roberts and other stars, Bloomberg reports.
And this is very important for him, because the ratings show the advantage of Donald Trump,” the publication writes.
After the G-7 meeting in Italy, Biden will fly not to Switzerland, like some other G7 leaders, but to Los Angeles. And US Vice President Kamala Harris, as the publication writes, will not be at the “Ukrainian” summit either.
It also reflects broader pessimism about the summit, Bloomberg notes.
Journalists say the decision underscores his move increasingly into campaign mode as he seeks to overcome former President Donald Trump’s lead in swing states ahead of the November election and reflects broader pessimism about the conference. However, about 70 countries will participate in the summit at one level or another.
The day before, Biden’s national security adviser, Jack Sullivan, noted that there were “no announcements” about Biden’s arrival at the summit.
In total, about 70 countries will participate at some level, including Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and German Chancellor Scholz. Ukraine and its allies are reluctant to engage with Moscow until a set of principles has been widely agreed upon to guide any future peace settlement. The Swiss summit was intended as a first step towards this goal.
