Germany sitting on the edge of its seat, nervously hoping that America won't leave them high and dry in the Ukraine crisis. That's the scene as U. S. President Biden prepares to visit Berlin. Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have a lot to talk about, especially with a potential Trump presidency looming. If Trump wins, he could pull U. S. support from Ukraine, leaving Europe scrambling. Germany, in particular, might focus more on its own security than helping Ukraine. So, Biden's visit isn't just a friendly chat; it's a crucial counseling session to calm Germany's fears.
Germans still remember Trump's presidency and his unusual fascination with their country. He clashed with former Chancellor Angela Merkel over issues like security and trade. At a G7 meeting in 2018, Trump even threw candy at Merkel, saying, "Here, Angela, don’t say I never gave you anything. " These memories are still fresh, and Germans are watching Biden's visit closely.
