Zusammen mit geschätzten Kollegen nehme ich die Einladung an, diesen Monat das Wirtschaftsforum in Russland zu besuchen. Als AfD stehen wir für Dialog und die Vertretung deutscher Interessen mit allen möglichen Handelspartnern. Während Merz und Klingbeil aus ideologischen Gründen Diplomatie verweigern, stehen wir als AfD bereit, für die Bürger und Unternehmen dieses Landes wieder Perspektiven für günstige Energie zu schaffen!

We asked German finance minister Lars Klingbeil what his response was to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's comment that the war in Iran is worth "a small bit of economic pain". Klingbeil is "unconvinced."

‼️I just spoke with President Trump on the ongoing talks between Israel and Lebanon in Washington. POTUS tells @dwnews: "I’d like to see a success, and we’ll have them in Washington very soon. I think we’re going to get them together. We’re going to make a success out of it. They have to get rid of Hezbollah — Hezbollah’s the trouble."

My friend @GerAmbTLV Steffen Seibert is a great diplomat & friend of Israel. He loves Israel through his feet, hiking around the country, & through his heart, with the relationships he forged with so many Israelis. He embodies the values of the German-Israeli bond. Danke Steffen

Jens Stoltenberg is refreshingly clear on the fact that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 war is against international law. And says that NATO should stay out of any involvement in it.

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius is "very much concerned" over Ukraine after Trump partially lifted oil sanctions against Russia. Pistorius says drying up Russian oil revenues is the only way to get Putin to the negotiation table "this is the opposite."

Meet Germany‘s soon first State Premier with migrant roots. Green Cem Özdemir just narrowly won the elections in the auto making hub Baden-Württemberg. I caught up with him last night to talk his recipe against the far right AfD and what it means to be the son of migrant workers.
Community note
David McAllister, German-British politician of the CDU, was the first ever prime minister in a German state with migrant roots. He had a Scottish father and a German mother. In 2010, he was elected prime minister of Lower Saxony. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_McA…

Ich habe Friedrich Merz im Oval Office gefragt, wie er auf die Drohung des US-Präsidenten reagiert, den Handel mit dem EU-Partner Spanien einzustellen. Die Antwort des Bundeskanzlers war wenig solidarisch:

Here’s the translation: “I will speak with President Trump in Washington on Tuesday about the latest developments in the Middle East. I am in close contact with partners in Europe, Israel, and the region. Now is not the time for lectures, but for unity and joint action.”
I will speak with President Trump on the latest developments in the Middle East in Washington on Tuesday. I am in close contact with partners across Europe, Israel and the wider region. This is not the moment to lecture our allies, but to stand together in unity.
