German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is visiting the White House on Friday for a private meeting with President Joe Biden as both allies become increasingly vocal about their concerns that China may step off the sidelines and supply weapons to Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
Such a step could dramatically change the war's trajectory by allowing Moscow to replenish its depleted stockpiles.
Maintaining a steady flow of weapons to Kyiv will be critical in the war's second year, especially with both sides planning spring offensives. Scholz last visited the White House a little more than a year ago, shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine. Very little of Friday's meeting will be open to the public, and no announcements are expected afterward.
"It is important that such close friends can talk about all of these questions together, continually," he said. "So, in the interest of alliance unity and to insure that Ukraine got what it wanted, despite the fact that the Abrams aren't the tool they need, the president said, `OK, I'm going to be the leader of the free world,"' Sullivan said. "'I will send Abrams down the road if you send Leopards now.' Those Leopards are getting sent now.
