WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has long believed diplomacy is about personal relationships — and he’ll spend Friday in Berlin with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz as his time in office is on the cusp of ending. Also on Biden’s agenda is a meeting with other leaders in the “European Quad.” The group includes the United States, Britain, France and Germany. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre describes Biden as having a “close relationship” with Scholz, who early this year helped broker a multi-country prisoner swap with Russia.
