Florida is shaking from what is likely the most dangerous and destructive hurricane ever recorded in the Gulf of Mexico. The arrival of ‘Milton’ in the US is scheduled for Wednesday evening (local time). A state of emergency has already been declared. In the city of Tampa, Mayor Jane Casto strongly warned the population: “I can say without any dramatization: If you choose to remain in any of the evacuation areas, you will die where President Joe Biden has planned a trip.” Germany Trip cancelled.
Biden actually wanted to land in Germany on Thursday evening. It would have been Biden’s first bilateral visit to Germany in his nearly four years in office. German Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz were present at the planned meetings in Berlin. On Saturday, Biden wanted to travel to Rhineland-Palatinate.
NATO meeting with Ukraine: host will be missing
A summit in Ukraine, which Biden had invited, was to take place at the US air base in Ramstein. About fifty NATO member states and other allies of Ukraine were expected to participate in the meeting, some at the level of heads of state or government. After the visit to Germany, the American president’s further trip to Angola in South-West Africa was on the agenda.
Biden recently came under pressure for his handling of Hurricane Helene. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump accused Democrat and his deputy Kamala Harris of not doing enough for the storm victims. Harris will face Trump in the presidential election on November 5.
Florida was first hit by “Helen.”
Florida is still dealing with the damage left behind by ‘Helene’. The storm made landfall in northwest Florida as a second-highest category hurricane. It then weakened, but caused severe flooding and destruction as it moved north. More than 200 people in six American states died.
