German chancellor turned down Biden invite to discuss Ukraine crisis

  1. This is bouncing around the news media. The original was a *Der Spiegel* article. Both the German and American governments have stated that the story was in error. I’ll post links in a moment.

    Original story:

    https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/russland-diplomatie-unter-nato-partnern-warum-olaf-scholz-keine-zeit-fuer-joe-biden-hat-a-4435f13a-0978-49ca-970f-5ded6b9b8a44

    > White House denies Scholz rejected Biden invite

    Can’t find the story with the German government statement in a quick search, but the American one should be sufficient.
