Voigt's U.S. trip: a strong commitment to the transatlantic partnership!

USA - Thuringia Prime Minister Mario Voigt sets off on Sunday. This trip not only has personal meaning, but also represents a strong commitment to the transatlantic partnership. Voigt emphasizes the importance of presence and active action in the cooperation between Thuringia and the United States. "The United States is our most important trading partner outside of Europe with a trading volume of over 2.2 billion euros," said Voigt, which underlines the importance of economic relationships. In addition, the journey is interpreted as a political signal for a dialogue and more trust between Germany and the USA.

With his journey, Voigt sets a course for the future and emphasizes that Thuringia, as part of the transatlantic community, bears regional responsibility. The Prime Minister is the first German head of government to officially visit the United States since Donald Trump's return. In this context, Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz has confirmed the position of the United States as a friend and partner of Germany. "Courageous action is necessary to secure tomorrow's markets," Voigt demands, and at the same time emphasizes the role of foreign industry for small and medium -sized companies in Thuringia.

coalition strategies and future business games

The strategic considerations for the upcoming government are becoming increasingly concrete. Voigt has already committed himself to whom he would like to coalize after the state election. Studies indicate that a Germany coalition from the CDU, SPD and FDP would not have its own majority. Voigt aims to form a government with its own majority, which would require collaboration with the BSW and another junior partner. However, the preference for a coalition with the SPD does not rule out the Greens.
