Secretary of State Antony Blinken heads to Europe on Wednesday as he faces an uphill climb to quell doubts on US leadership, with Congress deadlocked on providing new aid to Ukraine and presidential contender Donald Trump lashing out at NATO allies.
Months before President Joe Biden stands for reelection, Blinken will take part in the Munich Security Conference alongside Vice President Kamala Harris after first stopping Thursday in Albania, a close US ally that has strongly backed Ukraine as it defends against Russia's invasion.
