White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced Friday that Merkel, who is leaving office later this year, would visit Washington on July 15.
Psaki, in a statement, said the meeting would affirm "the deep bilateral ties" between the two nations, and the leaders would discuss the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and international security.
She and Biden were set to meet later Friday at the Group of Seven summit, a gathering of some of the world's wealthiest nations, taking place in England.
