German Chancellor Angela Merkel, in Washington to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, is speaking later to a joint meeting of both houses of the U.S. Congress.
She will be the first German leader to address the House or Senate since Konrad Adenauer in 1957.
The chancellor also will meet with President Barack Obama at the White House Tuesday. Their talks are expected to include the war in Afghanistan, Iran’s nuclear program, economic issues and global warming.
Ms. Merkel is in the United States for the first time since she was re-elected to lead Germany’s government in September.
