for more or less bringing our correspondence, janelle dom allowing janell districts comes as a surprise, doesn't it? so yeah, it clearly was a last minute decision to have biden meet stein meyer. as he said, stein buyer was clearly taken by surprise by it as well. he had to very quickly change his plans. he was actually meant to be in portugal for a meeting of the leaders there. now the reason that has offensively been given is that october 6th is german american friendship day. so what day that supposedly come number rates when germans 1st arrived in philadelphia, in 1836. but of course this is a bit, this is a day that comes every year and by no means that account for the suddenness of this announcement or this invitation. but suffice to say, spying buyer is here that in itself is a rare occurrence. the last time a german leader was here was former chancellor angular miracle in 2018. so this is something that clearly does not happen every day. and when it does, there usually is a lot more notice than what we've had just now. mm hm. the us and germany are, of course, 2 of ukraine's big
