(FILES) US President Joe Biden (L) is welcomed by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz during the official welcoming ceremony at Elmau Castle, southern Germany on June 26, 2022 prior to the start of the G7 Summit. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will try to build on the momentum from Europe’s success in agreeing new aid for war-torn Ukraine when he heads to Washington this week, where President Joe Biden is struggling to overcome opposition to a US package. The leaders’ talks on February 9, 2024 will also focus on escalating tensions in the Middle East, where Israel is fighting a war against Hamas and where the US has launched strikes on Iran-linked targets in Iraq and Syria following a drone attack that killed three American soldiers at a Jordanian base.

Biden’s original visit to Germany was to have taken place between Oct. 10 and 12 and to have included a four-way summit with his German, French and UK counterparts.
