Since March 2021, member states of the Quad and their leaders have hosted regular “Leaders Summits”, which have been both online and in-person.

The Quad is seen as a way for the four countries to cooperate on security issues in the Indo-Pacific region.

The Quad has been criticized by some for being a "containment" strategy against China.

The summit was scheduled to take place on May 24 in Sydney

but Biden has canceled his trip to Australia due to the ongoing debt limit negotiations in the United States.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that he understands why Biden has canceled his trip

but that he is disappointed that the Quad summit will not be able to take place in Sydney.

The cancellation of the Quad summit is a setback for the Biden administration, but it is not a major blow.
