Friedrich Merz, the German chancellor, already embroiled in a row with Donald Trump over the Iran war, has said he would not advise his children to study or work in the US in the current climate.
Speaking to a conference of young Catholics in Würzburg, the conservative leader, viewed by many as a transatlanticist, said he no longer saw the US as the land of opportunity.
“I am a great admirer of America. At the moment my admiration is not growing,” he said during a podium discussion, citing the quickly changing “social climate” in the deeply polarised country.
“I would not advise my children today to go to the US, get educated there or work there, simply because a certain social climate has suddenly developed there.”
The 70-year-old father of three continued: “Today, even the best-educated people in America are finding it very hard to get a job.”
Speaking about his own country, Merz urged Germans not to fall into a “disaster mode” about the state of the world and encouraged them to feel more optimistic about their homeland’s potential.
“I firmly believe that there are few countries in the world that offer such great opportunities, especially for young people, as Germany,” he said.

Good with me.
Maybe they’d feel at home in Detroit. It’s crawling with muzzies.
“Today, even the best-educated people in America are finding it very hard to get a job.”
“Best-educated” at what?
Good!
Oh NOOO!!!
and in other news...
Nertz to Merz.
I agree with him. I would not advise his children to come here either….STAY THERE…..lol.
“Today, even the best-educated people in America are finding it very hard to get a job.”
If you are white and male.
Thank you Jesus.
Maybe that is a part of the "social climate" Merz refers to.
I would not advise US children to travel to National Socialist Land.
W.I.N.N.I.N.G!
Gewonnen!
Two of my uncles helped "persuade" young German men to come and visit the US for two or three years; another uncle helped provide "hospitality" for them once they got to the Midwest.
In 1946, the more perceptive German "guests" tried to stay in the US. I suspect that truly perceptive young Germans would gladly make the move today as well, Herr Merz notwithstanding.
HUH!? I went there. Of course it was the early 1960’s soooo. Good times! Now? Uh, nope!
Good stay the hell out of my country.
Danke.
lol yes stay in germany and be murdered, robbed and/or raped by an “immigrant”
Just fine with you keeping you and yours there, enjoy the shit hole tou habe created
Oddly, myself/DW/kiddos wouldn’t go to Germany on a bet.
