On Wednesday, President Barack Obama will meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel for the last time in his presidency.
The two appeared to hit it off after Obama’s first visit as the newly elected U. S. president in 2009. Photos of them over the years show them sharing laughs and hugs amid serious conversations. Time will tell if President-elect Donald Trump will have such a cozy relationship with one of America’s closest allies.
Check out the photos below and let’s all remember the good times these two have had.
