Expert Response

This appears to be Japanese honeysuckle, which is a non-native invasive weedy plant. Identifying characteristics area creamy white, fragrant flowers in the spring, followed by black berries (although berries may not be produced if plants are less than three years of age). https://extension.umd.edu/hgic/topics/japanese-honeysuckle
