US President Joe Biden on Friday said he is heading to India to participate in the G20 Summit where he will be focussed on making progress on 'Americans' priorities'.

He wrote on X: "I’m headed to the G20 – the premier forum for international economic cooperation – focused on making progress on Americans' priorities, delivering for developing nations, and showing our commitment to the G20 as a forum that can deliver."

"Every time we engage, we get better," he said.

According to reports, the President is headed for India after testing negative for COVID-19. 

His trip to India became uncertain when US First Lady Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday.
