Former U.S. President, Barack Obama, is to visit German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The afternoon meeting in Berlin would not be open to the press.
As German Chancellor, Merkel has worked with three U.S. presidents and enjoyed, especially close relationship with Obama. His last international trip as president was to Germany in November 2016. He returned in 2017.
Obama arrived Germany on Thursday, addressing an audience of 14,000 in Cologne’s Lanxess Arena to say that he was “confident and cautiously optimistic’’ that the U.S. would soon be a world leader again on climate change. He expressed frustration with current U.S. policies in the area but noted that the state of California, for example, was implementing all the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
