Jan 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden will travel to New York City on Feb. 3 and join Mayor Eric Adams to discuss a strategy to combat gun crime, the White House said on Wednesday.
Adams on Monday announced a plan to end gun violence in a city reeling from the fatal shooting of two police officers and a spate of violent crimes, as he promised to increase police officers in New York's most violence-plagued communities.
Adams took office at the start of the new year and was elected after putting public safety at the center of his campaign.
