President Biden will travel to Berlin on Thursday to meet with German leaders, fulfilling a promised visit after he delayed his trip to oversee the recovery from Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

The leaders will discuss support for Ukraine, and Mr. Biden will acknowledge Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s decision to participate in a prisoner swap that got journalist Evan Gershkovich and other detainees out of Russia.

Mr. Biden doesn’t plan to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the trip but was to call the leader in Kyiv on Wednesday.

On a separate swing, Mr. Biden will visit Angola the first week of December to meet with President Joao Lourenco about boosting the two countries’ collaboration.

“The value of strong alliances and partnerships in the defense of freedom has never resonated more in Europe, in Africa and beyond,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday. “These visits demonstrate the president’s unwavering commitment to revitalizing these relationships for our shared security and prosperity.”
