U.S. President Joe Biden arrived on Parliament Hill saying that he and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "have a lot to talk about," but that it's great to be in Canada.

Biden, offering brief remarks ahead of a bilateral meeting with Trudeau in his office, said America is lucky to have Canada to the north at a time with so many geopolitical challenges.

He said while the two nations disagree occasionally, there is no difference when it comes to the democratic values they share.

"What a real pleasure it is to welcome President Biden to Ottawa, back to Ottawa. Its so great to see you Joe," Trudeau said.

Biden has a jam-packed day of events as part of his first official visit to Canada since taking office.

Alongside Trudeau, Biden will be meeting with top officials and addressing Parliament in an effort to reaffirm the strength of the Canada-U.S. relationship after rocky years under the previous Trump administration, and make progress on cross-border irritants.

Rolling up on to Parliament Hill in "The Beast" nearly an hour behind schedule, Biden was met by a backdrop of American flags lining the street and extremely tight security.
