NATO summit - Scholz trusts Biden and expects successful summit

Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) trusts Joe Biden's mental fitness as US President despite the ongoing discussion about it. Regarding the question whether he is concerned about overburdening the host during the summit, Scholz replied on Tuesday before his departure: "No, I don't have such concerns."

Scholz knows from many conversations with Biden that he has well prepared and will handle the summit skillfully. "Many of the decisions that are now being made and prepared there have been developed in close coordination between Germany and the US," Scholz said. "Therefore, this summit will also be a great success."

Biden, who is 81 years old, has been facing increasing questions about his mental fitness since his TV debacle against Republican challenger Donald Trump. The Democratic Party is also under pressure in the US regarding Biden's suitability as the presidential candidate for the November elections and his competition against Trump. Biden dismisses all doubts. He refuses to take a cognitive health test to assess his cognitive abilities.
