Hello !
President Joe Biden is currently meeting Polish President Andrzej Duda, no pictures or comments about it in Aftonbladet. He will also meet the so-called Bucharest group, i.e. 9 countries that make up the so-called NATO’s eastern flank. But for Aftonbladet it seems more important to have articles on how to lengthen the penis ;-))
