WASHINGTON, DC - OCTOBER 17: U.S. President Joe Biden gestures as he speaks to members of the press as he walks to Marine One as he departs the White House for Joint Base Andrews for a trip to Germany on October 17, 2024 in Washington, DC. On what is expected to be his final trip to Europe as president, Germany will present Biden with its highest honor for his leadership in defending Ukraine. Biden was originally supposed to visit Germany last week to take part in a multinational summit focused on Ukraine, but it was postponed due to Hurricane Milton. (Photo by Kent Nishimura/Getty Images)
