Biden participated in a four-way meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. They discussed the possibility of ending Russia's war against Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East.

During his visit to Berlin, President Joe Biden praised Germany as America's "closest and most important of allies." "When Putin launched his brutal invasion of Ukraine, you reminded us all why this alliance is so essential," declared Biden.

He continued by stating, "Under your leadership, chancellor, Germany rose to meet the moment," during a meeting with the head of the German government.

Addressing the chancellor directly, Biden said, "You summoned the resolve to act, remaking Germany’s foreign policy to reckon new realities — with new realities to stand strong and steadfast with Ukraine."

Biden emphasized that America and Germany are the two countries most supportive of Ukraine. He noted that Ukraine is now facing a harsh winter; thus, allies must urgently continue their efforts and support.
