Thursday, 24 March 2022 (YJC)_ The US president arrived in the Belgian capital Brussels to discuss the Ukraine crisis and the imposition of a new package of sanctions against Russia.
US President Joe Biden arrived in Europe on Thursday to meet with NATO officials, the Group of Seven, as well as with Council of Europe officials on the Ukraine crisis.
The Washington Post reported that Biden and European leaders were expected to announce new plans against Russia to reduce dependence on Russian energy sources, as well as impose a new sanctions package on Moscow.
"Despite the US-European alliance, there are still differences between NATO and US members over how to deter Russia," it said.
White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters during a trip to Europe that the president was also scheduled to consult with allies on possible Russian cyber-attacks on the West and the possibility of Moscow using chemical and biological weapons. And consult.
Allegations of Russia's possible use of chemical weapons come as the United States has biological laboratories in some Eastern European countries, including Ukraine and Georgia, and the UN Security Council recently convened a meeting on the issue.
Biden will travel to Warsaw to meet with the Polish president after his meetings in Brussels.
This is the third foreign trip by the US president since taking power in the White House.
