Details: Biden will be in Germany from 10 to 12 October.

According to Spiegel, the government also intends to invite French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to Germany while Biden is there. The meeting, held in the so-called "Quartet format", will most likely focus on support for Ukraine. Biden also intends to visit the US military base in Ramstein.

This will be the current US president's second trip to Germany in office, but his first state visit.

Biden's first bilateral visit to Germany as US president took place in 2022 when he attended the G7 summit at Schloss Elmau, Bavaria. On 24 September, US President Joe Biden stressed that American support for Ukraine will last until Ukraine achieves a "just and durable peace". During a visit to the United States, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia's war against Ukraine is "closer to the end" than many people think and called on allies to strengthen Ukrainian forces.
