In a gesture affirming the warmth and strength of UK-US ties, President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Boris Johnson exchanged gifts amid the ongoing Group of Seven (G7) Summit in the United Kingdom.

The US President gifted a handmade USD 6,000 bicycle while the British prime minister presented Biden with a photo of a 19th-century anti-slavery campaigner, during his first overseas trip as US president.
Biden’s gift to Johnson is painted blue with red and white decorations to evoke the British Union Jack and signatures of the two world leaders on the crossbar, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Moreover, US and British flags are present on the head tube of the bike.
