#internationalerfrühschoppen | Der Einfluss Donald #Trumps auf die US-Republikaner sei jetzt schon enorm, so @Erik_Kirschbaum. Erst vor kurzem hatte die Partei gegen ein #Hilfspaket für die Ukraine und Israel gestimmt - auch auf Druck des ehemaligen US-Präsidenten.

Did a rock concert help bring down the Berlin Wall? Great to see @springsteen recalling his anti-Berlin Wall speech criticizing the Wall at his concert in East Berlin exactly 35 years ago. Here is more on the history-changing concert:

I’m now wrapping up my few days in Berlin and want to thank my host @ErikKirschbaum and the @RIASBerlin Commission for welcoming me and honoring my @CNN documentary “Never Again.” And to quote Arnold @Schwarzenegger - “I’ll be back.”

During my stay in Berlin, it was really nice spending some time with young German journalists. I told them I hope they wind up like me and get up every morning and enjoy reporting the news. Thanks @RIASBerlin

One of Germany’s top news anchors @HelgeFuhst introduced and questioned me following the screening in Berlin of my @CNN documentary “Never Again.” He’s a very impressive journalist. When there’s major news in Germany, I will invite him to join me in the @CNNSitRoom

Congrats to Jersey’s own @springsteen on being awarded the National Medal of Arts by @POTUS. I may be the Governor, but he will always be The Boss.
