"German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has embarked on a trip to Jordan, Lebanon and Bahrain. Wadephul's Middle East trip comes as Chancellor Friedrich Merz travels to Turkey. Meanwhile, back inGermany, several German business giants have released their third-quarter results, and an unfortunate Bavarian woman has been involved in a cucumber scam. It was DW's coverage of what Germany was talking about on Wednesday, October 29."
"The regional council for the western German area where US President Donald Trump's ancestors lived has rejected a proposal to give Trump honorary citizenship. Seven of 46 members on the Bad Durkheim council, whose district includes the town of Kallstadt, voted in favor of the proposal. All seven are members of the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD). The politicians recommending the step cited his familial ties to the district and his role in negotiating the fragile ceasefire in the Middle East."
Johann Wadephul is traveling to Jordan, Lebanon and Bahrain as part of a Middle East tour while Chancellor Friedrich Merz visits Turkey. Major German companies released third-quarter results, including Deutsche Bank's strong profits. A notable local incident involved a Bavarian woman duped into paying 3,000 for a cucumber. A regional council in Bad Dürkheim rejected an AfD proposal to grant Donald Trump honorary citizenship; seven AfD members supported the motion. Supporters cited ancestral ties and his role in ceasefire negotiations. Council chair Hans-Ulrich Ihlenfeld criticized the motion as headline-seeking rather than fostering genuine debate.
