The President of the United States, Joe Biden, will address the Ukraine crisis in an extraordinary meeting in Berlin with the Federal Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, the French President, Emmanuel Macron, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer. This meeting is part of Biden's official visit to Berlin this Friday, which was supposed to take place last week but was postponed due to Hurricane Milton passing through Florida, forcing the U.S. President to cancel the trip.

The four leaders will discuss new aid for the country invaded by Russia, which is about to begin its third winter in war. The cancellation of Biden's trip to Germany last week also led to the postponement of a planned summit of heads of state and government from about 50 countries forming the alliance supporting Kiev, which was to have taken place last Saturday at the U.S. airbase in Ramstein, in the German Palatinate. Biden, Scholz, Macron, and Starmer will study the peace plan of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski and the possible granting of more powerful weaponry.

Joe Biden will arrive in Berlin on Thursday night for an official visit to Germany of less than 24 hours. On Friday morning, he will be received with military honors by the President of Germany, Frank Walter Steinmeier, from whom he will receive Germany's highest decoration, the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic, which was previously awarded to George H.W. Bush, President from 1989 to 1993, for his support of the country's reunification. Although Biden has frequently met with Scholz and Steinmeier, this is his first official trip to Germany in his four years in office.

After attending a reception in his honor at Bellevue Palace, the seat of the German presidency, he will move to the Federal Chancellery to have lunch with Scholz and discuss bilateral interests, as well as critical international issues. Both will hold a press conference, followed by the meeting with the leaders of France and the United Kingdom at the same chancellery. At the end of the meeting, Biden is expected to begin his return trip to his country, which is less than three weeks away from the presidential elections that will decide his succession.
