British PM cancels his first major foreign visit since taking power in 2019 as coronavirus cases surge in India.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has cancelled his delayed trip to India next week, his first major foreign visit since taking power in 2019, as coronavirus cases continue to surge in the South Asian nation. Johnson’s visit, which was being held as part of a post-Brexit trade drive, was originally due to be four days long, with the British leader flying out on April 25 and officially starting his visit the next day. However a spokesperson for Johnson last week said the “main body” of the prime minister’s trip programme had been cut down, with a large bulk of meetings taking place solely on April 26.
