MADRID, SPAIN - JUNE 28: U.S. President Joe Biden descends the stairs of his Air Force One aircraft upon his arrival at Torrejon de Ardoz air base, June 28, 2022, in Torrejon de Ardoz, Madrid, Spain. Biden has arrived in Spain in his Air Force One aircraft, shielded even against a nuclear explosion and capable of refueling from the air. When Biden lands, he will board 'The Beast', his presidential limousine and the safest car in the world, with 20-centimeter thick armor, equipped with firearms and blood transfusion bags. The limousine is accompanied by a caravan of 50 vehicles. The National Police and the Civil Guard will escort the motorcades at all times for the NATO summit, which officially begins tomorrow in Madrid, the 40th anniversary of Spain's accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Biden's objective at the NATO summit is to reaffirm ''the strong bilateral relationship'' between the two countries. (Photo By EUROPA PRESS/A.Ortega.POOL via Getty Images)
