The White House announced today that Vice President Joe Biden will make trips to fellow NATO countries Poland, Romania, and the Czech Republic to meet with heads of state and government, as well as other political and civil leaders. His trip begins Oct. 20. Topics of discussion include trade and investment expansion, strengthening democracy, and cooperation on common security issues.
Be on the lookout for Biden to also address the new U.S. missile defense plan — controversial in some right-wing circles — during his visit.
