#subnational #diplomacy is a new buzz word. But it has been practiced for more than 50 years, such as between the people of #Hessen and #Wisconsin. Happy 50th Anniversary of the sister state agreement.

Another previous host, Munich, has now been nominated official German candidate city to host the Olympic Summer Games 2036, 2040 or 2044. Keeping our fingers crossed!

Welcome @FreddyLA7 to the Midwest next week. This should be a great addition to your epic road trip during the World Cup. This is a classic college football matchup. Expect a lot of Midwest nice off the pitch!

Shaping 250 — Faces of the 🇩🇪🇺🇸 Story
Henry John Heinz, son of German immigrants, built an empire on hard work, quality, and trust. His ketchup became an American staple, showing us that immigrant-founded companies can become woven into the everyday life of a nation.
Traveling the Badlands @NatlParkService scenic by-way between our appointments in Pierre and Rapid City. Looking for that elusive pot of gold! Beautiful State @GovLarryRhoden .

We strongly condemn the fatal attack at the Christopher Street Day celebration in Berlin. This attack undermines the fundamental values of freedom and respect which underpin open and democratic societies. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the first responders.
U.S. citizens can reach the embassy 24/7 for emergency support.
Like @FreddyLA7 we took a great American #roadtrip but from Chicago to Santa Monica on #route66 . With my colleagues from @GermanyinLA in Germany in Houston. So many amazing impressions along the way.
It was an honor to be able to participate in the Signing Ceremony last week!

.@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. 🇩🇪🇺🇦
