President Biden said: “I kind of see you guys as the knot tying the transatlantic alliance together, the closer you are with Europe.
“We know where you are, you know where we are.”

Pressure on Mr Biden to quit over his health mounted as actor George Clooney said he cannot win “the fight against time”.
The influential Democratic fundraiser said wrote in the New York Times that it was "devastating to say it", but the Joe Biden he met at a fundraising event three weeks ago was not the Biden of 2010.
"He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020," added the actor. "He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate," Clooney said.
