Congratulations to the newly elected members of the #UNSC, especially to #Austria & #Portugal. I am convinced they will work to advance peace & security for the benefit of the global community. Germany will stay committed to peace & security worldwide & to a UN capable of action.
Meinen Glückwunsch an die gewählten Mitglieder des UN-Sicherheitsrats, besonders an Portugal und Österreich. Deutschland bleibt ein verlässlicher Pfeiler des Multilateralismus – mit Entschlossenheit und Verantwortung. (1/2)
Germany is committed to deepening its strategic partnership with #Türkiye. Together we aim to strengthen security and defence cooperation, advance economic ties, and build a reliable framework to tackle our common challenges. 2/2
With the conflict in the Middle East, 🇪🇺’s security is even more under pressure. After a drone attack in #Cyprus, today in #Nicosia I assured my colleague @ckombos of Germany’s full solidarity. 1/2
We stand with Israel. That is why I am here as Germany’s Foreign Minister. I’m in a region at war, in a country facing daily attacks from some of its neighbors. I visited the site of an Iranian strike, seeing firsthand the damage caused. 1/3
Good to see you again, @POTUS.
Difficult times call for strong partnerships.
Iran spreads terror. This endangers our partners - and us. We share a clear interest in putting an end to all this.
Die transatlantische Partnerschaft ist kostbar. In Zeiten der Großmächte werden wir auf das gegenseitige Vertrauen angewiesen sein. @GavinNewsom und ich sind uns einig: Zusammen sind wir stärker. Die NATO ist unser gemeinsamer Wettbewerbsvorteil.
The United States and Germany are close friends & steadfast partners. Today’s meeting with @SecRubio and @bundeskanzler reaffirmed our strong transatlantic ties, based on our shared interests, and our agreement on many key issues – including a strong NATO & a strong Europe. 🇩🇪🇺🇸
For three generations, trust amongst allies and partners has made NATO the strongest alliance of all times. In the era of great power rivalry, being a part of NATO is not only Europe’s competitive advantage. So let’s repair and revive transatlantic trust together.
The legal assessment of the U.S. intervention is complex and requires careful consideration. International law remains the guiding framework. At this stage, political instability in Venezuela must be avoided. The objective is an orderly transition to an elected government.
Nicolás Maduro has led his country into ruin. The most recent election was rigged. Like many other countries, we have therefore not recognized his presidency. Maduro has played a problematic role in the region.
Die Chanukka-Leuchter, die in Häusern und auf Plätzen entzündet werden, sind ein Zeichen der Hoffnung und Zuversicht. Lassen wir ihr Licht gemeinsam strahlen.
Allen ein friedvolles und helles Lichterfest – Chanukka Sameach.
The antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach during Hanukkah leaves me utterly shocked. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.
This is an attack on our shared values. We must fight antisemitism — here in Germany and around the world.
As President Steinmeier said: "Cinema is not just entertainment, but also an analysis of the present and an inquiry into the future." Great meeting with @CharlieRivkin at @MotionPictures HQ to talk all things movie industry. 🇩🇪🇺🇸🎬
I am thrilled to return to DC – this time as Germany’s Ambassador-designate to the US. Our nations share deep friendship, common values, and global responsibility. I look forward to strengthening this partnership, connecting with people across America, and engaging with you!
#G7 summits have always focused on the global economic situation. I am grateful that this topic will be at the forefront again today. @POTUS Trump and I will introduce it during the first working meeting. This intensive exchange is important.
