Biden's Final Act in Europe: Alliances and Farewells

As President Joe Biden nears the end of his term, he's making a stop in Berlin to meet with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. This visit isn't just about saying goodbye; it's also about tackling big issues facing the world. Biden and Scholz have been close allies, with Scholz even helping Biden out in tough situations. Now, they'll discuss important topics like democracy, technology, and the war in Ukraine. Biden will also meet with leaders from the UK, France, and Germany to talk about global challenges.Despite the upcoming US elections and ongoing conflicts, this visit aims to strengthen alliances rather than make big policy changes. Some experts think Biden's focus on smaller groups of allies, called "minilateralism," has helped, but others say it hasn't stopped adversaries like Russia and China. As Biden's time in office comes to an end, it's clear that his actions and words still matter to many countries around the world.
