Biden visits Berlin to strengthen alliances ahead of US election
Summary: President Joe Biden is visiting Berlin to meet with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and other leaders from the European Quad, including French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The discussions will focus on Ukraine, democracy, and global security.
Biden's trip comes just weeks before the U.S. presidential election. He aims to strengthen alliances amid concerns about a potential return of Donald Trump, who has criticized U.S. commitments to NATO and relationships with allies.
During the visit, Biden will also meet with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. The U.S. recently announced an additional $425 million in military aid to Ukraine, bringing total support to over $64 billion since the conflict began.
