[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] On the 30th, the White House announced that U.S. President Joe Biden will meet with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate, in Boston on the 2nd of next month (local time).


According to U.S. political media outlet The Hill and others, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated at a briefing that "President Biden plans to meet with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in Boston," adding, "The detailed schedule is still being coordinated."


President Biden is expected to visit Boston to attend a Democratic fundraising event during the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's visit.


Prince William and Duchess Kate arrived in Boston on the day via Logan International Airport. They will stay in Boston for three days to attend the Earthshot Prize award ceremony, the so-called "Environmental Nobel Prize," which they established.

According to NBC reports, their schedule also includes meeting Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and visiting Greentown Labs, a climate tech startup located in Somerville, Boston.



The Duke and Duchess were greeted at the airport by Republican Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker. This is the first visit to the U.S. by Prince William and Kate in eight years and their first overseas visit since the passing of Queen Elizabeth.
