GERMANY: Joe Biden's last visit! Is he now urging Scholz to exert joint pressure against Russia?

US President Joe Biden will visit Germany from October 10 to 12, which is the first official visit of his term in office. In Berlin, he will meet with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. The visit aims to further strengthen the close alliance between the US and Germany. The focus of the talks will be bilateral relations, the geopolitical situation and, in particular, the war in Ukraine.

As president, Biden was already in Germany in 2022 for the G7 summit in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and for a stopover at the US Air Force Base Ramstein. However, this is his first official state visit. The last US president to officially visit Germany was Barack Obama in 2016. Biden's term ends on January 20, 2025, and his visit is seen as a significant step to strengthen the transatlantic partnership in a politically difficult time.
