It's more than beer and bratwurst! Immigrants from German-speaking Europe have helped shaped U.S. society in manifold ways: From designing the U.S. Capitol's dome, to inventing the gramophone record, to advances in physics & the creation of Hollywood. https://t.co/uJxcOdBA4Y

Great to see subnational diplomacy at work. @GovTimWalz was accompanied by an economic and an agricultural delegation, highlighting the close business ties between MN and Germany.
Today, State Secretary von Geyr welcomed @GovTimWalz to the Federal Foreign Ministry @GermanyDiplo for a fruitful discussion on GER-MN relations. Cooperation with US states is a key element of transatlantic relations. Welcome to Berlin! MN 🤝🇩🇪

🇩🇪 is running for a #UNSC seat for 2027–28. Justice. Peace. Respect. That is Germany’s offer to every nation. It is an offer to listen, to cooperate, to find solutions. An offer to always count on. Germany will be a reliable partner. Now. And in the future. @AussenMinDe at #UNGA.

The Midwest with five Secretaries of State well represented!
Great to exchange experiences in a bi-partisan way with friends from across the Atlantic. Earlier this week, @AussenMinDE and @MetinHakverdi hosted twelve U.S. Secretaries of State at @AuswaertigesAmt in Berlin as part of their weeklong visit to Germany. 🇺🇸🤝🇩🇪

Great presentation and tour by @ObamaFoundation of the future Obama Presidential Center which is slated to open in spring 2026. Julie Mehretu‘s 83 x 25 feet stained glass window was fabricated in Munich by Franz Mayer Studio and already looks stunning now.

Russia’s horrific attacks last night, resulting in deaths and massive damage, including to the 🇪🇺 delegation in Kyiv, demonstrate: Instead of peace, Putin is relying on even more terror. We will discuss the reactions to this further escalation in the EU on Saturday in Copenhagen.
#Russlands schreckliche Angriffe vergangene Nacht, mit Toten & riesigen Schäden, auch an der 🇪🇺Delegation in #Kyjiw, zeigen: Statt auf Frieden setzt Putin auf noch mehr Terror. Wir werden über die Reaktionen auf diese weitere Eskalation im EU-Kreis Samstag in #Kopenhagen beraten.
