Germany’s Merz worries about America’s ‘social climate’

BERLIN, May 15 : German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Friday said he wouldn’t recommend that his children work in the US because of its “social climate”.
“I am a great admirer of America. My admiration isn’t growing at the moment,” he said during a panel discussion at the Catholic Congress in Wuerzburg, Germany.
“So, I wouldn’t recommend to my children today that they go to the US, get an education there, and work there. Simply because of a social climate that has suddenly developed there.”
He added: “By the way, the question of what well-educated young people can achieve used to be answered very differently in America up until a year ago than it is today. Today, the best-educated in America have great difficulty finding a job.” (AP)
