Interestingly China, France, Russia and the UK are not sending their presidents or prime ministers. Obviously, Russia's Vladimir Putin fears arrest while on American soil, China's Xi Jinping appears preoccupied with domestic economic and political concerns. The United Kingdom's Rishi Sunak is not expected to attend either.

France's Emmanuel Macron shall not attend; he's hosting Britain's King Charles III on his delayed visit to Paris.

Despite the shifting schedules, the fact remains that of the five Permanent Security Council members, only the United States will be represented by the head of government, Joe Biden.
