Talk:Germany–United States relations

message: I changed "United States are" to "United States is", in order to bring this article up to date with post-American Civil War conventions.

message: It seems that the relations have deteriorated even further, see Germany Denounces The United States Under Trump’s Leadership, Releases Historic Statement. There are also links to other related news sources within the text.
Perhaps this development of events should be incorporated into the article. 109.60.39.114 (talk) 06:06, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Further deterioration of relations 

message: This image doesn't really add anything substantial to the current article. It has no direct contextual significance in a nearby section, and it doesn't add any new information about the topic. Even worse, as a staged PR photo it is actively misrepresenting the difficult relations between Germany and the current US administration, and it is certainly not representative for a topic that is supposed to cover over 300 years of German-American relations (see also WP:RECENTISM). I have removed the image again, but of course other opinions and additional feedback are welcome. GermanJoe (talk) 01:01, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

replies: text:  Done that, thank you for the suggestion. The image itself is still not great, but that's atleast an improvement. GermanJoe (talk) 14:22, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Decorative PR photo of Trump and Merkel 

message: The section suggesting that "The key event was American revulsion against Kristallnacht" is simply not backed up by the cited text, which states "Six months after the November pogrom, a poll published in Fortune magazine revealed that 83 percent of Americans were against changing immigration quotas to allow more Europeans into the nation. Legislation proposed by senators Robert Wagner and Edit Rogers just after Kristallnacht to bring 20,000 German refugee children under the age of 14 to the United States never made it out of committee. Moreover, thousands of endangered Jews who might have secured refuge under existing quotas were denied entry into the country due to the barriers raised by bureaucratic officials, many of whom were antisemitic. When reports of mass killings of German Jews began trickling through government institutions and the media, they were often greeted with disbelief". 
Note that I'm not making any judgement on this, many countries including my own behaved similarly appallingly, I'm simply objecting to the simplistic statement and the abuse of citation that I don't believe says what the citer represents. gwinkless (talk) 18:54, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Public opinion regarding Nazi Germany and US government policy turned sharply negative after Kristallnacht. The article is about US -German relations and that statement is true. It's also true--and a separate issue-- that policy regarding Jewish refugees did not change--but that is a separate topic covered by History of antisemitism in the United States and related articles such as Presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, third and fourth terms#Reaction to the Holocaust, Criticism of Franklin D. Roosevelt#Failure to do enough for the Jews of Europe, Franklin D. Roosevelt#Jews, MS St. Louis, Hillel Kook, We Will Never Die etc . Rjensen (talk) 10:27, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
