Today, yes. In recent times, however, there have been some strains on the relationship between he US and Germany. After September 11, Germany began a policy of solidarity with the US and even participated in Afghanistan (along with Britain and France). However, when the US tried to use the War on Terror as grounds for the invasion of Iraq, solidarity ended, and US-German relations took a hit. In 2007, a German poll showed that only 20% of Germans believed that the US had a positive influence in the world, while 72% percent did not. Another source of strain has been the global climate change crisis. Germany has played an active role in enacting policies to meet this crisis. According to an international study, Germany (along with the rest of the European Union) is on track to complete the Kyoto Protocol. Meanwhile the US, under President Bush, did very little about climate change, denying the existence of global warming. This has resulted in harsh criticism from Germany, In 2008, when the US Presidential/Congressional Elections were coming up, Then Senator Barack Obama became a sensation in Germany. He visited Germany during the summer of 2008, mainly to show American voters how much international support he had. Over 200,000 Germans showed up waving American flags to show their support. There are still strains today, even with Obama. The Afghan War is getting unpopular in Germany, where voters want to pull the troops out, while Americans want more help from Germany. Obama's economic and fiscal policies have come under criticism from Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, who believes the time has come to switch from short-term crisis management to a new long-term regulatory system. Still, many experts say the US and Germany are on the same page now on many issues. Both nations' leaders have made strong statements against Iran, and Obama's reversal of Bush's climate change policy has made Obama more popular to German politicians. All in all, the two nations need each other's support. The US is one of Germany's greatest trading partners, and the US needs Germany because of the nation's strong ties with Eastern Europe.
