    President Biden unexpectedly skipped the G-20 gala in Indonesia Tuesday and returned early to his hotel room for the night.

    It is unclear why exactly Biden did not hit the gala, but according to the White House press pool, an administration official said, "The president just had spent a full day [of] meetings and needed to attend to a few items tonight."
    ...
    The White House official noted that the "items" in question were "not urgent" though his absence comes after he was photographed with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, who tested positive for COVID Monday.

    The Cambodian leader hosted Biden and other world leaders at a summit in the capital city of Phnom Penh over the weekend in the lead up to the world forum in Indonesia, where Biden spent considerable time with him and sat next to him during a Saturday event.

    The White House said Biden tested negative as recently as Tuesday morning and said the president is not considered to be a "close contact" as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    The White House said President Biden needed to "attend to a few items" after busy day instead of attending the gala and dinner in Indonesia.
