Hide cash? These places are no longer safe!
In a surprising twist, experts have discovered that hiding cash, as was often done in the past, is no longer a safe way to invest money. This was stated in a report by Mirror highlighting the dangers associated with this practice.
One of the dangers mentioned is that cash is increasingly being hidden in everyday items, such as supposedly safe soup. The article explains that such hiding places are no longer as safe as they once were. This development is leading to a rethink among the population about how and where money should be stored safely.
New challenges for German-American relations
But as the discussion about cash and its security progresses, the political waves between Germany and the USA are also in focus. On the occasion of the upcoming inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the USA on January 20th, there is speculation about possible tensions in German-American relations. One point of concern is Trump's proposal to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, which was rejected as unrealistic by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, according to a post Deutschland.de.
With the upcoming federal election in Germany on February 23rd, a realignment of the German government is expected, which could also potentially have an impact on relations with the United States. The FDP has left the governing coalition, which would change the political landscape.
Economic connections as a stable anchor
Despite the political uncertainties, the economic relationship between Germany and the USA remains stable. Germany is the USA's largest trading partner in Europe. During Trump's first term between 2017 and 2021, trade grew steadily, indicating the robustness of economic linkages. Germany is on the international stage both as Ukraine's second largest supporter after the USA and as a leading investor in the field of renewable energies.
About a million people in the United States are employed by German companies, making Germany the largest foreign employer in several states. In addition, Germany is the third largest source of foreign direct investment in the USA, which illustrates the close economic connection between the two nations.
Given the political changes and the challenges in relations, the common basis on which Germany and the USA operate remains strong. Both countries share common values, which also form the basis for sanctions against Russia and are clearly evident in international bodies.
