Europe Prepares for Biden

Jamie Dettmer

   With days to go before the inauguration of Joe Biden as America's 46th
   president, America's European allies are preparing for the new
   administration.
   For Europe's leaders Biden's return to the White House, which he left
   four years ago as Barack Obama's vice president, along with familiar
   faces in key foreign and security jobs, is reassuring.
   And it is even more so in the wake of last week's violence against
   Congress by agitators supporting U.S. President Donald Trump, focused
   on deep-state conspiracy theories, who sought to reverse the result of
   Biden's presidential election win. It is an assault that has left
   Europeans as disoriented and shaken as Americans.
