Wittich’s week in washington: the tense situation and the relaxed us citizens
In recent weeks, the political situation in the U.S. has been very tense, especially due to the tightening of relations between the U.S. and several other countries. At the G7 summit meeting in Canada, U.S. President Trump and German Chancellor Merkel had a heated exchange of views. Relations between the USA and North Korea have also deteriorated again.
Despite this tense political situation, however, U.S. citizens seem relatively relaxed. The economy is booming, unemployment is at an all-time low, and most people feel secure in their daily lives and unaffected by political developments.
