JOE BIDEN IN GERMANY: Paper from Federal President Steinmeier causes laughter at award ceremony During the ceremonial award of the Federal Order of Merit to US President Joe Biden at Bellevue Palace, there was an amusing moment when Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier quoted an old document. 45 years ago, when the young Senator Joe Biden visited Germany, a German official made a note about him. Steinmeier read from this note: "This senator still has a potentially significant political career ahead of him." With a grin, Steinmeier added: "Significant - what a remarkable understatement!" The humorous moment caused laughter not only among those present, but also among Biden himself. Today, Biden is the 46th President of the United States and heads one of the most important transatlantic alliances. #worldnewschannel #politics #usa #joebiden #steinmeier #germany Subscribe to the WELT YouTube Channel / weltvideotv WELT DOKU Channel / weltdoku WELT Podcast Channel / weltpodcast WELT Netzreporter Channel / dienetzreporter The WELT news livestream http://bit.ly/2fwuMPg The top news on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2rQQD9Q The media library on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2Iydxv8 WELT news channel on Instagram / welt.nachrichtensender WELT on Instagram / welt On our own behalf: Due to the high volume of irrelevant and offensive posts, we are currently unable to accept any more comments.
