German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens) excludes herself from TV shows like “Let’s Dance”. “I limit myself to singing in the shower and dancing privately” she told RTL and ntv news outlets.
Although she enjoys dancing and singing and was a gymnast and trampoline jumper in the past, she cannot imagine taking part in such a show: “I rule that out.” In contrast, she can easily imagine continuing as Foreign Minister after the federal election.
“‘We’ve seen how important reliability is. Trust is actually the most important currency in diplomacy,’ Baerbock said. Continuity is something that has always made Germany strong. ‘I still have a long way to go in fulfilling the tasks I’ve set for myself. Yes, I would like to continue in this office.'”
Looking at statements by the designated US President Donald Trump, she highlights the strength of the European economic union. “We are together the largest global internal market. The Americans are our closest partners,’ the minister said. If some countries did not hold to the rules, the worst could happen. This applies to all countries, including NATO partners like the US. ‘We have prepared as a federal government for this US administration. We must not let ourselves be taken aback.’
