WadePhul and Rubio: New single-time rules burden German-American relationships!

Washington, USA - The visit of the new German Foreign Minister Johann WadePhul with his US colleague Marco Rubio marks a significant step in bilateral relationships between Germany and the USA. This meeting took place on the occasion of WadePhul's first official visit to Washington and took place at a time when geopolitical tensions are the order of the day in both Ukraine and the Middle East. WadePhul took the opportunity to discuss basic topics of international security and NATO. In addition, his journey served to prepare a planned visit by Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the USA.

A central topic of half -hour conversation was Ukraine, where WadePhul and Rubio agreed on the need for an immediate ceasefire. WadePhul also commented on which steps are necessary to end dying in Ukraine and initiate negotiations with the Russian President Vladimir Putin. This was done against the background that Rubio takes a loyal attitude towards Donald Trump, who has always critically commented on Putin.

new single -time rules and student visa

During the meeting,

Rubio also announced sharper -sided rules that could also affect Germans. A preliminary stop of the awarding of student visa is specifically aimed at "foreign civil servants and people who are involved in the censorship of Americans". This was particularly relevant for WadePhul, which was surprised that this topic was not discussed during the conversation, especially since a German journalist Rubios questioned in Germany as "tyranny".

WADEPHUL nevertheless emphasized a “common foundation” between Germany and the USA, even if there are disagreements. This is an important aspect, especially in times when relationships between the two countries are put to the test.

important messages and personal response

WADEPHUL, who celebrated his 54th birthday, appreciated the reception by Rubio as a sign of the importance of transatlantic relationships. This personal aspect of the meeting underlines that despite political differences, there can also be a human connection between the leading politicians.

In another geopolitical context, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov wants to enter the EU despite existing sanctions, which further tightens the complexity of international relationships. These developments illustrate how important it is to keep the dialog channels open in order to find solutions in crisis regions and to defuse intergovernmental tensions.
