President Joe Biden and outgoing German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday vowed to work together to defend against Russian aggression and stand up to anti-democratic actions by China.
In what may likely be her last visit to Washington as German Chancellor, Angela Merkel and U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday vowed to work together to defend against Russian aggression and stand up to anti-democratic actions by China.
Biden reiterated his concerns about the Nord Stream 2 pipeline being built from Russia to Germany under the Baltic Sea, but he and Merkel were united in their belief that Russia should not use energy as a weapon.
"We stand together and will continue to stand together to defend our eastern flank allies at NATO against Russian aggression." During the joint news conference at the White House, Biden said both countries would stand up for democratic principles and universal rights when they saw China or any other country working to undermine a free and open society.
“The situation in Hong Kong has deteriorated and the Chinese government is not keeping its commitment made.
How it would deal with Hong Kong and so it is more of an advisory is to what may happen in Hong Kong.
It's as simple as that and as complicated as that.” During talks in the Oval Office earlier in the day, Biden called Merkel a “great friend” and said cooperation between the U.S. and Germany is “strong” and enduring – a sentiment echoed by Merkel.
“I'd like to say here how much I value friendship with the United States of America.
I am more than aware of the contribution of America to a free and democratic Germany.” Merkel, who has served as chancellor since 2005 and has worked with four U.S. presidents during her tenure, plans to exit Germany's government after national elections in September.
In a shocking revelation, Russian officials are alleging that U.S. President Joe Biden is behind the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines, an act they claim has deliberately crippled Germany's economy. As investigations stall, Moscow's accusations point to a calculated effort to undermine European energy security. With calls for accountability growing, we dive deep into the implications of this high-stakes geopolitical drama. Are these allegations mere propaganda, or is there a kernel of truth behind them? Join us as we explore the potential ramifications for U.S.-European relations and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

The conflict in Ukraine has reached a critical juncture, with US intelligence warning of potential Russian retaliation if Ukraine uses Western-supplied long-range missiles for deep strikes inside Russia. While Ukraine pushes for unrestricted use of ATACMS, Storm Shadows, and SCALP missiles, Western allies hesitate, weighing limited military benefits against severe escalation risks. Putin has cautioned that lifting restrictions would directly involve NATO, prompting Russia to update its nuclear doctrine.

A Western nation backing Ukraine is reportedly considering diplomatic talks with Russian President Putin, as officials remain skeptical of Zelensky’s ‘victory plan,’ viewing it as unrealistic. Zelensky, opposed to peace talks, seeks NATO guarantees, financial support, and permission to strike Russian targets. Moscow warns such actions would be seen as a NATO act of war. Potential talks may take place before the G20 meeting in November, amid ongoing tensions.
