German Chancellor Olaf Scholz wrote on X that Biden's decision to drop his reelection bid deserved recognition, while his foreign policy leadership merited praise.

"Joe Biden has achieved a great deal: for his country, for Europe, for the world," Scholz said. "Thanks to him, transatlantic cooperation is close, NATO is strong and the USA is a good and reliable partner for us."

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he respected Biden's decision, and he looked forward to the two of them "working together during the remainder of his presidency."
