Biden and G7 leaders staying at $280-a-night CASTLE surrounded by a ring of steel and president has his own ‘West Wing’
JOE Biden and other G7 leaders will stay in a $280-a-night castle that has been barricaded by the ring of steel, with the US president staying in his own "West Wing."
Tregenna Castle Resort will host the world's top leaders as they attend the summit, only a short distance away from the Caris Bay Hotel where they will meet.
Among the West Wing's former guests was Hitler's Ambassador, Herr Von Ribbentrop.
He was said to have been so enamored by the hotel that he sent a message saying that under no account was St Ives to be bombed as he wished to live in Treganna after the war, reports.
The Stephens family remained in the homes until 1871 when they sold it to a local family of bankers, the Bolithos.
The family seat became a hotel after the British Great Western Railway opened its St Ives Branch in 1877.
are set to meet on Thursday ahead of the main summit on Friday.
During the summit, Biden will discuss climate change and international travel with other world leaders.
The president arrived in the UK shortly after midnight local time on Thursday.
The embarrassing blunder came after the president declared that the US-UK alliance was the “strongest military and political alliance in the history of the world.”
Biden also made clear that "co-ordinated multilateral action" is needed to tackle climate change ahead of the G7 summit.
He said: "Over the next few days I'll be participating in meetings with many of our closest partners, the G7 in Cornwall, then off to Brussels and the Nato summit and the EU summit.
"This diplomacy is essential because no single nation acting alone can meet all the challenges we face today because the world is changing."
