Jill and Joe Biden arrived in Great Britain for the G7 summit in Cornwall - and were invited by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson with his wife Carrie for a walk on the beach.

What was not hidden from the reporters present: Jill Biden wore a jacket with a - albeit simple - lettering.

We remember: your predecessor, Melania Trump, once wore a jacket with a print on an official trip - and thus attracted worldwide attention and outrage.

In the summer of 2018, Melania wore a parka on her way to the Mexican border with the label "I really don't care - do u?"

Why she did this remained her secret.

The fact that thousands of Mexican children were separated from their parents after crossing the border was and is certainly not indifferent to many.

So now again a first lady with a message on her back, which she - unlike Melania Trump - explained.

Reporter: "Can you explain the message on the back of your jacket?"

Jill Biden, First Lady:


"Oh, the word 'LOVE'?

Well I think we bring love from America.

This is a global conference and we are trying to achieve unity around the world.

And I think that's important right now - that people feel a sense of unity for all countries, and that they feel hope after this year of the pandemic. "

Her husband has already announced in Cornwall how he wants to give even more reason for hope at the G7 meeting.

Joe Biden, US President:


“America will be the vaccine arsenal in the global fight against Covid-19. Just as America was the arsenal of democracy during World War II. The United States will buy half a billion doses of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine to donate to nearly 100 nations that urgently need it in the fight against this pandemic. We do this to save lives. To end this pandemic. "

Biden emphasized that the US did not expect any consideration from the recipient countries for the 500 million vaccine doses. The fundraiser will cost the country around $ 3.5 billion. The announcement ahead of the G7 summit should increase the pressure on the other participating nations to take

joint

action against the pandemic around the world. In total, the G7 countries want to provide a billion vaccine doses for poorer countries.
