BERLIN: US President Joe Biden is expected to visit Germany next week, a government source said on Sunday, after a previously planned trip was cancelled due to Hurricane Milton. "He's coming to Berlin on Friday" for a one-day visit, the source said. According to German media reports, Biden will meet German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, with the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East expected to be high on his agenda.
Biden's original visit to Germany was to have taken place between October 10 and 12 and to have included a four-way summit with Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. He had also planned to travel to Angola immediately afterwards as part of a series of valedictory international trips in the final months of his presidency, after he withdrew from the race in July. — AFP
