Biden Reschedules Germany Visit Amid Hurricane

Published: 2024-10-13

US President Joe Biden is set to reschedule his visit to Germany after it was postponed due to Hurricane Milton.

Originally planned for last week, Biden's visit was delayed as he prioritized overseeing hurricane preparations in Florida.

The visit, now expected to take place next week, will include meetings with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

The agenda will focus on the ongoing support for Ukraine amidst its conflict with Russia.

Biden's visit, initially intended to include a Ukraine summit at the Ramstein Air Base, will now be a shorter trip due to time constraints.

Despite the changes, Biden and Scholz have reaffirmed their commitment to strong US-German relations and continued collaboration on global issues.
