Biden in Berlin: Farewell visit with Macron and Scholz before elections!

President Joe Biden will pass in Berlin on Thursday and Friday to say goodbye to Germany before the election offices in the United States count their votes. The 81-year-old, who had to cancel his original appointment due to hurricane "Milton", meets with Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Chancellor Olaf Scholz. During this informal visit, Biden is honored with the "special level of the Great Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany" - an award that George Bush (Senior) received in 1993.

In addition, the French President Emmanuel Macron and the British Prime Minister Keir Strandmer will also be expected to take part in a four-person meeting of the leading NATO countries. Even if bidges and Scholz maintain a strong relationship of trust, trade policy remains a challenge in the German-American relationship. Safety measures are massive: snipers, police presence and an monitored airspace will secure the visit, while traffic in Berlin is subject to massive restrictions, especially between the Brandenburg Gate and Bellevue Castle. Details on the exact meeting content are not yet known because security reasons play a role. Find out more about the background in www.morgenpost.de .
