Der Spiegel: This is expected to be US ambassador to Germany

The daughter of a Jewish father who had left Nazi Germany, Gutmann is expected to be the new ambassador of the United States to Germany. According to information that Der Spiegel has secured from U.S. government districts, Joe Biden will propose Gutmann to ambassador. She is currently a specialist at the University of Pennsylvania.

Gutmann must be confirmed in position by the Senate. She would be the first woman to serve as U.S. ambassador to Germany, the newspaper Express broadcast.

With this decision, Beden wants to send a political signal and also distance himself from predecessor Donald Trump, who with Richard Green had sent a controversial figure to Berlin. He received attention in Berlin primarily through provocative interviews and left his post before serving in the intelligence sector in Washington.

Gutmann has free biographies as a scientist. She studied in “London School of Economics” and was doctored at Harvard University in 1976. Since 2004, it has been a rector for the University of Pennsylvania.

In 2009, former President Barack Obama had appointed Gutmann as chairman of the government's Bioethics Commission.

In Berlin, political issues await him. Relations between Germany and the United States have been strained because of the dispute over the Russian gas pipeline, “Nord Stream 2”, which the US government opposes. Even the visit of the American diplomat Antony Blinken to Berlin last week brought no solution to the dispute.

Gutmann will also be busy fixing the obstacles left by the ancestor Green. Above all, he used the post to make a name for himself as a critic of the federal government and particularly attacked Merkel's policy about refugees.

Gutmann's father was born in Bavari and as a student had sent his children and parents to India to leave Nazi Germany. He later settled in the United States. It is true that my whole family would be annihilated if my father did not do what he did”, Amy had declared in an interview in 2013.

One of the largest Holocaust archives was established at the University of Pennsylvania.
