But the US president used every minute in Berlin to try to make clear that he still has big ambitions on the world stage, these last weeks before he leaves office in January. Especially in the Middle East and Ukraine.

European defence has been a cornerstone of Biden’s foreign policy - a stark contrast to that of his predecessor, Donald Trump, now a 2024 presidential hopeful.

In recognition of his efforts, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier awarded Biden his country’s highest honour, the special class of the Grand Cross.

The conflict in Ukraine, since Russia’s full-scale invasion, is the worst war this continent has experienced since World War Two.
