U.

S. President Joe Biden has arrived in Berlin for a brief working visit, marking his first bilateral trip to Germany just months before his term ends.

Originally planned for earlier, the visit was postponed due to a hurricane threat in the U.

S. Southeast.

Biden's agenda includes meetings with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Chancellor Olaf Scholz, focusing on Middle East tensions following the reported killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by Israeli forces.

This development is seen as a potential turning point in the Gaza conflict, with hopes for a resolution and the release of hostages.

Biden's visit also underscores the enduring transatlantic ties, as he receives Germany's highest honor, the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit.

However, the visit highlights shifting U.

S. priorities, with experts noting that Europe may need to prepare for a future with less American military support.

Biden's trip is both a farewell gesture and a strategic dialogue on global security challenges.
