- Joined business leaders at the German American Executive Summit in New Orleans to tackle a defining question: how do we keep transatlantic trade strong amid tariffs & complexity? The answer: dialogue—and the will to find solutions together. 🇩🇪🤝🇺🇸
- NATO is the cornerstone of transatlantic security and was the focus of an excellent exchange with Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security Thomas DiNanno @UnderSecT today.
- Holocaust remembrance remains a priority for Germany. Institutions like @HolocaustMuseum play a vital role in keeping Holocaust knowledge accessible & grounded in historical fact. Honored to visit with Director Sara J. Bloomfield & Tad Stahnke. Thank you for your essential work.
- Deeply saddened by the many lives lost due to extreme cold and severe winter storms across the United States. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all affected communities during this difficult time.
- On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the six million Jews murdered and all victims and survivors of Nazi persecution, reaffirming that memory must endure. (1/5)
Replying to @GermanAmbUSATheir work matters more than ever. Holocaust denial and distortion are not abstract threats—they challenge our democratic societies today and demand education, truth, and sustained international cooperation. (4/5)Remembering the Shoah is not only about the past. It is a living commitment—for dignity, for truth, and for ensuring that "Never Again" remains a responsibility we actively uphold. (5/5) #NeverAgain #WeRemeber - Visiting @FloridaState : ‘Let us keep building bridges – economic, scientific, personal – so that 30 years from now, when you are leaders, you can say: we chose cooperation over confrontation, and the world is better for it.’ Excited to see the impact you’ll make!
- Cooperation between Florida & Germany delivers real benefits—from jobs to innovation. 🇩🇪🤝🇺🇸 Today, I signed a Joint Declaration of Intent with @GovRonDeSantis to strengthen cooperation in areas such as tech, aerospace, life sciences & research.
- Faith & worship truly connect our peoples across the Atlantic. I was glad to meet with representatives of German Churches & leaders of the German congregations in the DMV area! Their role in strengthening the German-American partnership is invaluable.
- .@AussenMinDE Wadephul and Vice Chancellor @larsklingbeil were both in Washington this week. Their meetings with U.S. government representatives, as well as members of both chambers of Congress, reflect the intensity of our transatlantic relations.
- A strong start to the year with important transatlantic talks in Washington. 🇩🇪🇺🇸Europe needs reliable partners in #Washington — and the United States needs Europe as well. We share core interests: defending democracy, freedom, and self-determination. Thank you for the warm welcome, trustful & in-depth exchange today in DC, @SecRubio. 🇩🇪🤝🇺🇸
- Happy New Year! As we step into 2026, we reflect on 250 years of American independence and the enduring bond between our two nations. From the excitement of the World Cup to new ventures, let’s make this year one of even stronger partnership!
- After an intense year, it’s time to pause, reflect, and embrace the joy of the season. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
