Death & destruction across #Ukraine – including strikes on hospitals and TV studios – show that Putin’s terror knows no limits. Thus, we must set limits. We want to implement the 🇩🇪 proposal I put forward at #NATO to step up support for 🇺🇦. Everyone is called upon. @AussenMinDE

On 8 May, we remember the end of #WWII in #Europe and honour those who fought, suffered, and rebuilt in the pursuit of peace and freedom.
81 years later, the responsibility to protect democracy, unity, and human dignity remains as important as ever.

The U.S. government has ordered the withdrawal of 5,000 troops from Germany.

Why @bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz and Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul reacted calmly to the initial announcements of a partial withdrawal. 👇

[GermanForeignOffice @GermanyDiplo]

In my call with @araghchi, I emphasized: #Germany supports a negotiated solution. As a close ally of the #US, we share the same goal: #Iran must completely & verifiably renounce nuclear weapons & immediately open the Strait of #Hormuz, as also demanded by @SecRubio. @AussenMinDE

[Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler]

Violence has no place in a democracy. We decide by majorities, not by the gun.
I condemn the attempted attack in Washington and am relieved that President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump and all those present are safe.
