U.S. President Joe Biden and European Union leaders Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel delivered a message of unity on October 20 with regard to the Israel-Hamas and Ukraine wars as they met at the White House. The EU-U.S. summit takes place against a backdrop of global crises as Ukraine battles Russia's invasion and Israel gears up for an invasion of Gaza. "These conflicts show democracies must stand together," von der Leyen said as the American and European leaders presented a united front and sought to strengthen their "strategic partnership."
