European leaders have been relying on President Biden to guide them through some of the continent’s darkest days in decades.
When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, they found in him a shepherd of sorts, who worked with them to unite behind Kyiv and shaped the response to Russia’s aggression.
Mr. Biden urged his European counterparts to impose sanctions on Russia quickly, and his administration lent expertise on how to do so in lock step with the United States.
He pushed European allies to get it together when it came to defense and to commit to spend more on NATO.
