Germany's new Chancellor Olaf Scholz is travelling to the United States for his first face to face meeting with President Biden. He is under pressure from both domestic rivals & international allies in his response so far to the crisis involving Ukraine, with accusations that Germany is putting its energy needs ahead of protecting Ukraine from an invasion.
