President Joe Biden has canceled his planned visit to Germany, where he was to lead a Ukraine summit in Ramstein, due to the impending threat of Hurricane Milton.

The hurricane, a Category 4 storm with winds reaching 230 km/h, is expected to hit Florida, prompting mass evacuations.

Biden's decision underscores the priority of addressing domestic natural disasters over international engagements, especially during the election campaign.

The situation highlights America's influence on European geopolitics, as the Ukraine summit's postponement reflects the dependency on U.

S. leadership.

Meanwhile, the hurricane has become a focal point in the U.

S. presidential race, with Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris emphasizing government support for affected areas, while facing criticism from Republican candidate Donald Trump.

The storm's intensity is partly attributed to climate change, raising further political and environmental concerns.
