Two reasons Biden must publicly pressure Germany's Olaf Scholz at the White House

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Let's start with defense spending.
51% : In turn, Germany must step up its European defense commitments along with other continental powers (we shall see if France's recent pledge to boost defense spending comes to fruition) so that the U.S. military can redeploy forces from Europe in readiness for a likely coming war over Taiwan.
50% : The China factor bears additional weight to this defense spending concern.
46% : First, Scholz's government is failing to deliver on pledged and long overdue boosts to defense spending.
45% : Xi wants to split the European Union from the U.S. on matters related to China, thus obstructing a global democratic alignment against his various aggressions.
