White House "Biden Postponed Overseas Travel"Hurricane Preparedness"

U.S. President Joe Biden has postponed his trip to Germany and Angola to prepare for a hurricane expected to hit Florida.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement that Biden will postpone his trip to Germany and Angola in light of the expected path and intensity of Hurricane Milton.

Milton is expected to develop into a Category 5 hurricane with a maximum wind speed of 250 kilometers and penetrate the Florida Peninsula on the morning of the 9th local time before exiting the Atlantic Ocean.

A sense of crisis is growing as a stronger Milton approaches at a time when Hurricane Hurlin caused significant human and material damage to the southeastern United States two weeks ago.

Jean-Pierre added that President Biden is also continuing to respond to the damage.

President Biden was scheduled to visit Germany and Angola from the 10th to the 15th.
