STORYLINE:
The leaders of Germany, France, the UK and the United States on Friday met in Berlin.
The four leaders held talks on Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East on the sidelines of US President Joe Biden’s farewell visit to Germany.
Biden didn’t want his term to end without visiting Berlin, after having been to other key allies such as Japan, South Korea, France, India, the U.K., Poland and Ukraine.
Scholz thanked Biden for the two leaders’ “extraordinarily close” cooperation.
Biden said he was “grateful for Germany’s cooperation in holding Iran accountable for destabilizing policies, including providing missiles and drones to Russia to use against Ukraine.” He pointed to new European sanctions against Iran’s leading airlines and said that “this coordination is going to have to continue.”
With the election just weeks away and the race extremely tight, there are worries that a victory for Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, could upset the relationships that Biden is hoping to pass on to Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee.
