Biden's Final International Visit Focuses on Unity

President Joe Biden made a brief visit to Berlin, meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss ongoing support for Ukraine and the Middle East conflict. This visit, possibly Biden's last as President, emphasized transatlantic unity, especially in light of the impending U.S. presidential election which could impact future international relations. Biden was honored with Germany's Order of Merit for his contributions to transatlantic relations, acknowledging his efforts in strengthening NATO and supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression. Discussions also addressed the evolving conflict in Gaza, following the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, with Biden advocating for a ceasefire. The political landscape in the U.S., with Kamala Harris and Donald Trump as presidential contenders, poses potential shifts in foreign policy, particularly regarding NATO and Ukraine. Biden's visit underscores the importance of continued collaboration between the U.S. and its European allies.
