relations rather is this an opportunity for germany to improve relations with the united states that have of course suffered under this administration where germany experienced very tough time with president trump and wasn't used to the kind of communication between the white house and berlin in the past years on the other hand germany has such a large number of institutions that support the transatlantic relationship and they continue to strengthen the relationship with the u.s. . so there are some positive signs that the democrats regained strength because the partnership with the democrats is traditionally very strong in germany again president is still the president and he sets the tone nicolle redbird from the german council on foreign relations thanks very much thank you. well these midterms mark a comeback for one recognizable conservative mitt romney and for president in two thousand and twelve he lost against barack obama romney's back now on the national stage after winning the u.s. senate seat for utah romney takes over from retiring republican utah senator orrin hatch who
