Chancellor Scholz congratulates Donald Trump

Excellency,

I congratulate you on your election as President of the United States of America.

Our countries have a close friendship and partnership.
For many decades, Germany and the United States have been working side by side to promote prosperity and freedom on both sides of the Atlantic. Together with you, I want to continue this successful work for the benefit of our citizens.

The many different challenges of our day and age demand joint responses. Germany is committed to doing its part. For me, this includes further strengthening our joint NATO Alliance and the German-American friendship. Both are key pillars for the freedom, security, and prosperity of our two countries and the transatlantic area as a whole.

I wish you strength and success for the tasks that lie ahead.

Sincerely,

Olaf Scholz
Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany
