## Key points

- Germany will continue seeking common ground with the Trump administration.
- Wadephul hopes for more bipartisan debate on support for Ukraine.
- He says Russia’s war threatens freedom and security on both sides of the Atlantic.

## Summary

German foreign minister Johann Wadephul said the US midterm results could bring both continuity and change to Germany’s dealings with Washington. Berlin would keep seeking compromise with the Trump administration, while engaging more broadly with Democrats after their strong electoral performance.

Wadephul said he hoped the results would encourage more cross-party discussion in Congress about support for Ukraine, an issue he said had received limited attention during the campaign. He argued that Russia’s war threatens security and freedom in both Europe and the United States, and pointed to supporters of Ukraine in both parties and chambers of Congress.
