Germany–US tensions over 240 days
Major German media organizations have expressed their rejection of the U.S. government's plans to reduce the validity period of foreign journalists' visas from the previous duration. The new limit will be just 240 days, instead of a long-term visa as long as journalists meet the necessary conditions. These organizations have called on the German government for political and diplomatic support to preserve free journalistic coverage in the United States, emphasizing that this step sets a troubling precedent and restricts press freedom. They affirmed that the offices of correspondents in the U.S. are vital to ensure the public remains informed about global events in an unbiased manner.
