Biden urges Western allies to keep aiding Ukraine during meeting with Europe leaders before election

BERLIN (AP) — U.S. President Joe Biden told European partners that it’s important for Ukraine’s Western allies to “sustain our resolve” in supporting the country. The upcoming U.S. presidential election cast a long shadow over Biden’s Friday visit to Germany. He met Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany, Ukraine’s second-biggest military supplier after the U.S., and they were joined by the French and British leaders on Friday for discussions that also were addressing the conflict in the Middle East. With the election just weeks away and the race extremely tight, there are worries that a victory for Donald Trump could upset the relationships that Biden is hoping to pass on to Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee.
