Joe Biden has called off a four-day trip to Germany this week that had been intended to culminate in a summit to discuss Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s “victory plan” for Ukraine.

The White House said on Tuesday evening that the president would stay at home “to oversee preparations for and the response” to Hurricane Milton, which is expected to make landfall in Florida on Wednesday.

It was not clear how Biden’s absence would affect the planned summit, the first time world leaders were due to gather at the Ramstein US airbase, normally the location of a regular meeting of defence ministers to discuss military aid for Kyiv.

Biden didn't necessarily pull out of the summit. He's attending to the natural disaster that is happening in the country that he is president of. Jesus fucking christ.

Right? It's like not showing up to the Monday morning meeting because your basement flooded. Give the man credit where it's due

They never do. Biden was a good president. And yet, everybody hates him. The right hate him, because they hate everybody on the left. The left hate him for reasons I don't understand. He's the modern day Jimmy Carter. Great president that for some reason has his merrits diminished for reasons I may never understand.

Some on the left "hate" him because of Kremlin propaganda on social media.
