U.S. President Biden met with German Prime Minister Scholz in Washington, D.C. on the 3rd, and is believed to have confirmed his policy to continue to support Ukraine, where Russia's military aggression continues.

US President Biden met with German Prime Minister Scholz, who is visiting Washington, D.C., for about an hour on the 3rd.



At the beginning, President Biden thanked Germany for strengthening military support, such as deciding to provide its own tank "Leopard 2" to Ukraine.

On top of that, he said, "NATO = North Atlantic Treaty Organization alliance is stronger and more capable," emphasizing the need for NATO member countries to unite and respond.



In response, Prime Minister Scholz said, "It is important for Ukraine to deliver the necessary assistance in step. It is also very important to send the message that we will continue to provide assistance as long as it is necessary." It seems that he confirmed the policy to continue to support him.



In addition, as the United States repeatedly urged China not to provide military assistance to Russia, the two sides are believed to have had a wide range of views on the situation in Ukraine.



Concerning the situation in Ukraine, as the Ukrainian military is expected to conduct a large-scale reversal offensive this spring, the focus is on whether the weapons requested by the Ukrainian side will arrive promptly.
