President Biden is considering traveling to Europe in the coming weeks to reassure U.S. allies amid the war in Ukraine, according sources familiar with the planning.
The trip would include meetings with other world leaders. Potential stops include Brussels, where NATO is headquartered.
NBC News first reported the possibility of a trip.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said a final decision about the trip has not been made and there was nothing to preview.
“We are closely engaged with our NATO partners and European allies, as you’ve heard us say a number of times, about next steps in diplomacy, whether that’s providing additional humanitarian or security assistance or the mechanics for future conversations,” Ms. Psaki said.
Vice President Kamala Harris visited Poland and Romania last week to address the escalating crisis in Ukraine. She met with leaders of both nations, reaffirming the administration’s support for Ukraine.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken also traveled to Poland this month to meet with his Ukrainian counterpart.
The timing of Mr. Biden’s potential trip is not clear.
