U.S. President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson discussed Afghanistan on Tuesday and announced a virtual summit of the G7 leaders on the crisis, the White House said. "They agreed to hold a virtual G7 leaders' meeting next week to discuss a common strategy and approach," the White House said in a statement. 

This was the first phone call between Biden and a foreign leader since the startling weekend takeover by the Taliban of Kabul.
