Details: Wolfgang Büchner reports that the German government is consulting closely with the US government on the details of the visit. He has not been able to provide any details so far.

The state visit with all the due honours was scheduled for the end of last week, but Biden cancelled it at short notice due to the hurricane in the US. As a result, the summit in support of Ukraine at the US air base in Ramstein was also cancelled.

According to early reports, US President Joe Biden plans to arrive in Germany on Thursday for a previously postponed visit due to Hurricane Milton.

The US president's visit will be significantly shortened and limited to one day, Friday, 18 October.

The media also reported that the Contact Group on Ukraine's defence meeting would not occur during Biden's visit.
