Germans continue to innovate today. Engineering is still a top profession among the well-trained, qualified professionals in the German labor market.

Thank you @SecBlinken for the warm welcome in snowy #WashingtonDC! The #US is #EU|s closest partner, our transatlantic bond is key to peace & security. We agreed to collaborate closely vis-à-vis #Russia. There’s no alternative to dialogue.
German Foreign Minister @ABaerbock had a busy and successful visit to Washington. She affirmed our common values, discussed Russia and China, promoted Germany's #G7 Presidency and democratic resilience, and set the stage for cooperation on climate.
American and German democracy proved resilient this year, and the German-American friendship is alive and well. There is work to be done - urgent challenges to face. But we can face them together with our fellow democracies.
Here's to 2022!
Today @OlafScholz was sworn in as Angela Merkel's successor. He was elected by the Bundestag, and is now the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Let’s wish him well! We have reason for optimism about the future of German-American relations in the new government.
Germany is represented by devoted professionals throughout the US, serving both Americans and Germans. It's been a pleasure to host the eight German Consuls General, and some of the 38 Honorary Consuls.
Thank you all for the work you do, and for making the trip to Washington!
