2:10Now PlayingThe coronavirus pandemic is forcing U.S. President Joe Biden to alter another first for his administration: the typically formal White House meeting with a foreign counterpart.
Biden hosted virtual talks with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday for the first bilateral meeting of his presidency.
U.S. presidents traditionally invite the Canadian prime minister for their first meeting with a world leader.
Biden was in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, flanked by Vice-President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
Trudeau, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau took part in the meeting from Ottawa.
The two leaders exchanged warm greetings, despite the fact that the bilateral summit was being held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Trudeau was effusive in his praise of Biden's agenda on climate change, noting that U.S. leadership on the file had been absent for the last four years.
The agenda includes the two countries' COVID-19 responses, climate change, economic issues and more.
