Joe Biden is set to fly to Germany tomorrow (10/17/24) after putting off his trip due to Hurricane Milton that hit the US last week. The White House shared this info today
Karine Jean-Pierre‚ the White House spokesperson said in a regular press-briefing that the Presidentʼs Angola visit has been moved to early December. This change was made after the initial plan to go to both countries got messed up by the hurricane
The Presidents original plan was to visit Germany and Angola about a week ago. However Mother Nature had other ideas - Hurricane Milton forced a quick change of plans. Now‚ Biden is focusing on the German leg of his journey while the Angola trip is set for later
Jean-Pierreʼs statement cleared up some mix-up about when the Angola trip would happen. At first‚ there was wrong info going around saying it was set for September. The White House made sure to fix this mistake‚ pointing out that its actually scheduled for the first week of December
The White House team has been working hard to juggle the Presidents schedule — making sure he can fulfill his international commitments while also dealing with unexpected events at home. This flexibility shows how tricky it can be to plan high-level diplomatic trips‚ especially when natural disasters throw a wrench in the works
