"We don't want windmills. (...) Show me a country with green energy, and I will show you a bankrupt country. You know, Germany tried it. They were about two days away from extinction." President Donald Trump claimed at a campaign event that the energy transition had brought Germany to the brink of disaster. "I will impose a 250 percent tariff on your damn wine and all the crap you send us. I will impose a 250 percent tariff on your wine, your champagne, and everything you send us, Emmanuel." At the same time, he threatened him, according to his own account in a phone call, with additional tariffs of 250 percent if French pharmaceutical companies did not offer their medications in the United States at lower prices. "I call him Muhammad. Someone said his name is not Muhammad, but Abdul. (...) I am the president. I can call him whatever the hell I want. To me, he is Muhammad. And he is a radical jihadist." Furthermore, Trump made derogatory remarks about the Muslim politician Abdul El-Sayed, who is running for the Senate for the Democrats. #Trump #Russland #Energiepolitik (translated)

Anna asked whether a diesel agreement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin could have been made before its announcement. She wrote that the tanker Minerva Zen left Saint Petersburg on September 22 – 17 days before Trump's announcement. The ship, sailing under the Greek flag, had an undisclosed destination since its departure and was supposed to reach the US East Coast on October 11 or 12, according to data from Windward and Vortexa, a week after the House of Representatives voted for the Graham sanctions law. The route is documented, but the cargo is not, Anna wrote. Shipping papers are not available; estimates range from 230,000 to 300,000 barrels of diesel. Shipping analyst Michelle Wiese Bockmann could not say whether the ship had been redirected after Trump's announcement or whether an agreement had already existed before. Anna also pointed out that the US Treasury Department had issued General License No. 135 less than 24 hours before the report, allowing the import of Russian diesel until April 2027. She related the issuance on Thursday, a phone call on Friday, and the departure of the tanker on September 22, stating that the timing seemed unusual. While Kyiv had urged Congress to implement the Graham law, Washington could have already planned differently, according to her account. She cited Windward and Vortexa, quoted by Nasha Niva, as well as UkrMedia and NPR. #DieselDeal #Trump #Putin (translated)

Bernd Kaiser criticized BMW for canceling the leasing contract for the 7-series company car of the newly elected President of the State Parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, according to his representation. He accused the company of making a political statement while it is cutting 8,000 jobs worldwide and offering severance packages to almost 40,000 employees in Germany. Kaiser contrasted the decision with the BMW management's statements in the FAZ, claiming that certain parties are "poison for the economic location." He wrote that the company should focus more on technological innovations and sales, and he held the perceived misallocation of priorities partly responsible for the decline of the German location. #BMW #Dienstwagen https://t.co/JhQgq0WEGr #BMW #Autoindustrie #Wirtschaft (translated)

Max Mannhart reported that a nationwide survey by Apollo News found that up to 20 percent of employees in immigration authorities did not have a German passport, with many of them coming from third countries. In numerous cases, non-EU foreigners with temporary residence permits decided on the residence status of other foreigners and sometimes on their naturalization, he wrote. Often, there were no restrictions on their decision-making powers. In Hamburg alone, 24 non-EU foreigners had extensive powers in decisions regarding residence status. According to Mannhart, the responsible authorities did not see any problem in this. https://t.co/dKSCjxvNks #Ausländerbehörden #Einbürgerung #Migration (translated)
