.@ZelenskyyUa has once again demonstrated that Ukraine is ready for an immediate ceasefire and peace negotiations. I therefore call on Russia to accept the Ukrainian proposal and to begin the ceasefire as early as tonight. @AussenMinDE

The young people in our @ObamaFoundation Leaders program give me hope. One of those leaders, Luisa Neubauer, is working to fight climate change and recently traveled to Antarctica.
This Earth Day, I hope you'll check out her incredible story.

We are shocked and horrified by the antisemitic attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan today.
We stand firmly with the Jewish community and condemn any form of violence.

While Ukraine is ready and always has been ready for a just peace, Putin continues to refuse to negotiate. This is the only reason the war is dragging on. And that is why Germany continues to support Ukraine's resistance – until a just and lasting peace is possible. 🇩🇪🇺🇦

Lüften is the real deal!
Americans discover… airing out the house?
The latest trend in the U.S. has been dubbed “home burping.”
Americans have embraced the German tradition of Lüften — simply opening windows for 10–15 minutes to let stale air out and fresh air in.
And it’s no joke: NBC even aired a full segment explaining the phenomenon.

Congratulation @IndianaFootball . The trophy stays in the Midwest!

You will find German companies in most counties in Indiana. About 25% of Hoosiers have German ancestry, including @GovBraun whom I had the honor to meet this week to discuss how to further strengthen ties between #Indiana and #Germany . @Indiana_EDC .
