Details: When the US journalists who travelled to Vilnius with Biden asked why Biden will not be joining the dinner, an official said the president "has four full days of official business and is preparing for a big speech tomorrow in addition to another day at the summit." 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken will attend tonight’s dinner instead.

On Monday, Biden visited the UK and met with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at 10 Downing Street and King Charles at Windsor Castle before travelling to Vilnius. On Tuesday, he participated in a series of leader meetings at the summit.

Tomorrow he will deliver an address in Vilnius before travelling on to Helsinki, where he will attend the Nordic Leaders’ Summit on Thursday and take questions in a news conference.
