Brief analysis on Chancellor Scholz's surprise visit to the US

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited the USA for the second time in a short period, where he had a tête-à-tête meeting with his American friend Joe Biden. This was a sign on the part of German foreign policy for the smoothing of contradictions and frictions between them and the strengthening of bilateral and multilateral relations. During the first visit, Chancellor Scholz emphasized that the FRG has been and will always be at the side of the United States of America. He noted that the consolidated transatlantic partnership between Germany and the US will be one of the most important values ??of German politics and that it will continue to be of great importance in the future. Also, both politicians emphasized the desire and will, that both countries, FRG and USA should support each other and rely on each other. Under this spirit and under this positive trend, his second very quick meeting in the Oval Office of the American president was also realized. Chancellor Scholz himself, before the departure, had emphasized that this second visit was an expression of the increase in the quality of transatlantic relations. This also showed that the spirit of good cooperation between the American president and the German chancellor will continue in the future. This meant that the two high officials would continue to talk and exchange their ideas and thoughts for the benefit of international peace and security. In the meeting between them, as usual, the most nerve-wracking and heated topics related to the situation that Europe and the world are going through in this period were discussed, namely: The war in Ukraine, the Chinese problem and delays in deliveries of Leopard tanks to Ukraine. Regarding the issue of the war in Ukraine, the two heads of state once again emphasized the total support for Ukraine and its people in its liberation war against Putin's Russia. For this, American President Joe Biden announced during his meeting with his German friend the new military aid to Ukraine. This will consist of supplying Ukraine with the most necessary weapons to stop the advance of Russian troops on its territory. Biden and Scholz also focused on the increasing importance of China in the war in Ukraine. Even China, as one of the most important allies of Putin and Russia, has warned several times about the possible delivery of weapons to the Russian Tsar. Scholz himself sent a clear message to the Chinese government and politics: "Use your influence in Moscow to push for the withdrawal of Russian troops." Also, both politicians once again emphasized the warning with the imposition of sanctions against third countries that militarily support Russia. This was a strong warning to China, otherwise it will be sanctioned economically and politically. It is known that China is Germany's main partner in multilateral trade relations. Could this happen in the future? - It is believed that the Chinese government will play with two gates, ie. on the one hand, it will keep the relations with the USA and the EU in a good and satisfactory state, without leading them to tension. On the other hand, it will still maintain and further strengthen historical ties with Russia. So, somehow she will not play with fire in this very honorable and aggravating situation. While related to the issue of sending Leoparad 2 tanks to Ukraine for months there was an unnecessary tension in relations between the two strategic allies. This came from the fact that Chancellor Scholz had set as a precondition for their delivery the delivery of American Abrams tanks. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan even described the German reluctance to send the Leopard-2 as a "German inability" to make decisions independently. But still Scholz managed to convince Biden for the long-term supply of Abrams tanks, not to disrupt the "unity of the alliance" and "to provide what Ukraine wanted", although according to military specialists these are not that Ukraine needs at the moment. A Scholz hit??? But this trip did not go unnoticed by the German press, because this trip to Washington was very sudden and inside it there were many mysterious and confidential things. First, the Konrad Adenauer government plane was almost empty when it left Berlin early Thursday evening for the American capital. Second, the Kanvelar had taken with him only his closest employees and of course his security forces. Third, the journalists were not present at all. Something unusual for such high-level political visits. Fourth, the business people were not there either. The question arises: Why such a thing? - Some big questions arise here. First of all, there was no official reception from the American side. Scholz was received at the Washington airport only by the chief of protocol, the American diplomat Rufus Gifford. A bit strange and unusual for a politician of this international caliber. (They didn't even give a press conference at the end of the meeting. Only an interview of Chancellor Scholz for the American channel CNN.) Secondly, according to the German press, the Chancellor wanted to spend his second visit to Washington in complete silence, that in his talks with Joe Biden he would not be embarrassed and feel as comfortable and as comfortable as possible. Thirdly, he wanted to have a one-on-one meeting with US President Joe Biden unperturbed by the spicy questions of journalists. He wanted an extremely confidential meeting (unter vier Augen). point four, Through this visit, Scholz wanted to "apologize" for his stubborn insistence on the issue of sending Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. Despite the shadows and questions arising from this sudden visit of Scholz to Washington, we can say that German-American relations are of great importance and are of a higher caliber compared to those of other countries. And despite difficulties and unexpected unpleasant situations, they will remain the main axis in the European and wider international political arena. This second visit of the chancellor proved this best. Their future is predicted to be better. that German-American relations are of great importance and are of a higher caliber compared to those of other countries. And despite difficulties and unexpected unpleasant situations, they will remain the main axis in the European and wider international political arena. This second visit of the chancellor proved this best. Their future is predicted to be better. that German-American relations are of great importance and are of a higher caliber compared to those of other countries. And despite difficulties and unexpected unpleasant situations, they will remain the main axis in the European and wider international political arena.
