BREAKING: Joe Biden hosts Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel in White House
President Joe Biden met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the Oval Office on Thursday afternoon welcomed German Chancellor Angela Merkel to the White House on Thursday afternoon for a bilateral meeting with a wide-ranging agenda including the coronavirus pandemic, climate change and China’s rise.
Biden and Merkel first met in the Oval Office. They were also set to discuss the Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, which the two countries have had an ongoing dispute over. The leaders were also expected to converse about Russian cyberattacks in the US, the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and renewing the Iran nuclear deal.
It was likely Merkel’s last visit to the White House before she leaves her post in September after 16 years as Germany’s chancellor. Biden is the fourth US president that Merkel has met with during her tenure. The meetings on Thursday which included a one-on-one session and a larger group discussion, were not expected to produce any major policies or breakthroughs.
