Berlin, Jul 4 (AFP) German Chancellor Angela Merkels scientist-husband will take leaders spouses at a G20 summit, including Melania Trump, to a climate research centre amid a bitter row over global warming.
Joachim Sauer, who usually shuns publicity, will take the visiting dignitaries sightseeing through Hamburg on a river cruise and to the spectacular new Elbphilharmonie concert house.
But the quantum chemist has also insisted they stop off at the German Climate Computing Centre an itinerary point sure to put the spotlight on the US First Lady after President Donald Trump in June pulled out of the 2015 Paris climate accord.
The leaders wives Sauer is the only husband as British Prime Minister Theresa Mays spouse wont be coming to Hamburg will also take in views of Germanys Gateway to the World city on a cruise tour of the countrys biggest port, in whose harbour-front bars the Beatles started their rise to fame.
The G20 spouses tour also includes Hamburgs neo- Renaissance town hall, an imposing building dating from the late 1800s, which boasts almost as many rooms as Britains Buckingham Palace.
On Friday evening, the spouses will be treated to Beethovens Ode to Joy, the EUs anthem, at Hamburgs new Elbphilharmonie, whose glass structure is meant to evoke frozen waves, and which offers sweeping views of Germanys second largest city.
Wil they head up to Frankfurt which is now only half German born citizens?
Maybe take in some shish kebab
Trump and his aides should visit Stasi HQ, Hitler’s bunker and any antisemitic shrines and send a signal that the 4th Reich is on the rise.
I hope Melania decides to stay home. She doesn’t need this sh**.
Who needs Alsace-Lorraine? Ve haf all ze EU!
Maybe they can visit the Grand Mosque of Berlin?
Heil Merkel!
I can't wait to see what the Trumps are doing for their first Fourth of July in the White House :D
What the world does not realize is that the EU is a caliphate in disguise.
How unbearably boring. The First Lady should just say - NO. I will not be used to needle my husband.
Beautiful photo of the First Lady.
Thanks for posting.
I’d really like to see Trump cancel this trip.
How long will world leaders be allowed to deliberately try to embarrass Trump at will? If they don’t pay a STIFF price for this behavior, it will never end.
Sickening to see them working hard to insult him every time he visits somewhere.
Just like in the US. They don’t like the citizens they have, so they are changing the citizenry. They think they can control the muzzies. They will find they are wrong, too late. Hopefully, Eastern Europe will preserve western civilization and maybe begin a reconquista at some point.
Trump should provide each of them a reproduction statute of Charles Martel.
I hope Trump’s speech in Poland mentions the Polish King who saved Vienna from the Turks.
