Good morning, NBC News readers.
President Joe Biden is heading to Europe for his first trip as diplomat-in-chief, Bill Gates' role as one of the nation's largest farmland owners comes under scrutiny and a new chocolate delight that is ... flying off shelves.
Here's what we're watching this Wednesday morning.
President Joe Biden will touch down in Europe on Wednesday looking to repair relations with America's closest allies in an effort to counter the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as growing threats from China and Russia, in his first big moment on the world stage since taking office.
The president is expected to get an overwhelmingly warm welcome from allies, who for four years tried to manage his predecessor's often undiplomatic diplomacy style.
But Biden will still have to convince skeptical allies that the U.S. is a partner they can trust again amid concerns any international agreements they are able to reach with the U.S. over the next four years will only be undone by the next president, as the Paris climate agreement and Iran nuclear deal were upended by Trump.
