On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my best wishes to the German people as they celebrate 32 years of reunification on this German Unification Day.
Germany is a permanent NATO ally and an influential global leader. The United States is fortunate to have such a strong partner in our shared efforts to defend democracy, human rights, the rule of law, and the institutions that have ensured peace and security for nearly eight decades. We thank Germany for its leadership in the G7 this year, focusing on shared goals related to climate, economic security, health, infrastructure and democratic values. During my trips to Germany this year, I have made clear the gratitude and admiration of the United States for Germany’s historic commitment to help Ukraine in response to Russia’s brutal and provocative war.
Einen schönen Tag der Deutschen Einheit! I look forward to building our strong partnership in the coming years.
