In addition to coordinating the G7 response on Ukraine, the President will undoubtedly recognize the Chancellor’s leadership on other shared challenges, including climate change and economic resilience. I would expect that the President will be thanking Chancellor Scholz for his leadership of the G7 during what’s been a truly unprecedented time in Europe over the last number of months. This meeting will be a good opportunity for them to check signals on the G7 under the German presidency, and given the next couple of days of meetings that we have here with the G7, and then also an opportunity to discuss our shared interest in a range of other global challenges, including climate change and energy. So I would expect there will also be discussion of transatlantic defense issues, especially in anticipation of the NATO Summit, which we’ll be heading to from here.

In terms of the meeting agenda, expect that Russia and Ukraine are going to be at the top of the list, including our continued close coordination on the political and diplomatic front ongoing conversation about the security assistance that we, as well as other allies and partners, are providing to Ukraine financial supports and as well as continued efforts on sanctions to impose economic costs on Russia.īut it’s a full agenda, as it is our bilateral relationship. So this meeting is going to provide a good opportunity to affirm the deep and enduring ties between our two countries. They’ve since had a number of bilateral calls, as well as broader calls with other transatlantic and G7 leaders, particularly around the crisis in Ukraine. The President, just to remind, spoke to him two days after that and then hosted him for an Oval Office meeting in February. And the President has developed a very close and effective working relationship with Chancellor Scholz, who took office on December 8th. The administration has been investing very heavily in our bilateral relationship with Germany since he took office, including engagements last summer with former Chancellor Merkel. The President is looking forward to kicking off his Europe trip with a meeting with the German Chancellor. Sorry for running a little bit late this morning was getting through security on the way up to the Schloss. SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: Great, thanks. So we’re going to start with, and then we’ll go to. They’re both going to just give some quick remarks at the top, and then we’re going to try to take as many questions as we can, given the time limitations that we’re going through today. So for your awareness, not for reporting, the speakers on the call are and. This call is on background, attributable to “senior administration officials.” And it’s to preview day one in Germany today. Thanks for joining the background call today.
Just some logistical things we were dealing with this morning. MODERATOR: All right, so in the interest of time, we’re going to go ahead and get started.
