WASHINGTON/BRUSSELS - US President-elect Joe Biden spoke with the heads of the European Union institutions and Nato on Monday in a round of calls seen as part of his efforts to repair tattered transatlantic ties.
Ms Von der Leyen sounded upbeat and optimistic - a sign of relief in many European capitals at the prospect of smoother ties after four years of conflict and tension under Mr Trump. Mr Biden has already spoken to a host of European leaders bilaterally, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson who have all sent congratulations despite Mr Trump's refusal to concede the Nov 3 US election.
