Merkel receives ex-US President Obama at the Chancellery
Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) will welcome former US President Barack Obama to the Chancellery tomorrow. The meeting in the afternoon was classified as a confidential conversation, the public should not be informed, said a government spokesman in Berlin. He did not want to give any further information.
Obama had worked closely with Merkel in his tenure as US President (2009 to 2017). Since the arrival of his successor Donald Trump, the German-American relationship has cooled significantly. That should be one of the topics at the meeting. Obama is currently on a trip to Germany.
In the Cologne Lanxess Arena Obama spoke in front of more than 14,000 spectators and viewers about good leadership. He compared the post of US President with that of a captain on a very large ship.
You have to learn patience there quickly. "You can not turn it and suddenly it goes in the opposite direction," he explained. There is a "big steering wheel" and there are a lot of people on board. I hope that you have taken a better direction at the end of your term.
