US President Joe Biden's historic visit to Germany marks a key diplomatic engagement, with discussions on Ukraine, West Asia, and global issues like AI and clean energy. This visit underscores Biden's commitment to strengthening ties with key allies ahead of the US presidential election.

US President Joe Biden has made a significant diplomatic journey to Germany, the first such visit by an American president since the nation's reunification. During his visit, Biden is scheduled to engage in meetings with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Additionally, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer are set to join these discussions.
