Back when I was a candidate for this office, you welcomed me with a small rally in Berlin, where I spoke of the change that’s possible when the world stands as one. I have to admit that I have developed a special place in my heart for the German people. And I’m especially pleased to see the young people here - from Germany and across Europe. To the members of the Bundestag, Prime Minister Weil, Mayor Schostock, distinguished guests, people of Germany. ![]() ![]() So we very much appreciate your Chancellor, Angela Merkel. (Laughter.) And over the last seven years, I have relied on your friendship and counsel, and your firm moral compass. I truly believe you’ve shown us the leadership of steady hands - how do you call it? The Merkel-Raute. And on behalf of all of us, I want to thank you for your commitment to freedom, and equality, and human rights, which is a reflection of your inspiring life. (Applause.) On behalf of the American people, I want to thank Angela for being a champion of our alliance. Guten tag! It is wonderful to see all of you, and I want to begin by thanking Chancellor Merkel for being here. ![]()
