Berlin is trying to determine whether three cases where its citizens were detained while trying to enter the US signal a change in policy.

    Is Germany stuck on half speed or something? It’s pretty well determined already.

      In 2022, 1.41 Million Germans traveled to the US (most current number I could find).in contrast, 3 being detained - while it is a tragedy and warrants investigation - is not a reason to get into panic mode. Panic mode and fast news cycles brought us this shit, so I am happy to have some people investigating. That does not mean not being aware or ignore the cases, on the contrary. This needs to be looked into and there should be a response.

        In 2022 the US was also ran by very different people. Acting 2 years out of date is not clever planning.

        The global political landscape is shifting rapidly. Adaptability is paramount to navigate this period.

          I agree, but still, I prefer that my government looks into things before it declares something.
