WASHINGTON, July 15 ― The clock is ticking as President Joe Biden welcomes German Chancellor Angela Merkel to the White House today with both hoping to rebuild ties badly frayed under former President Donald Trump.
Biden, 78, and Merkel, 66, see eye to eye on a string of broader issues. They will likely discuss joining forces to fight threats to democracy around the world, counter Russian cyberattacks and territorial aggression in Eastern Europe, and China's push to dominate advanced technologies, officials in both governments said.But the two leaders do not have much time to work together on strengthening ties between the world's largest and fourth-largest economies.
Biden's Democratic Party has tenuous majorities in the US Congress that could evaporate in the 2022 congressional elections. Merkel's agenda on Thursday includes breakfast with Vice President Kamala Harris, a one-on-one meeting with Biden and a dinner hosted by the Bidens at the White House. Merkel also will make remarks after receiving an honorary degree from the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University.
