People in Germany (click here) have been warned to stay away from their windows and to refrain from waving during Barack Obama’s visit later this month.
Along with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the US President will be in Germany to open Hannover Messe, the world’s largest trade show for industrial technology, at a ceremony on the evening of 24 April at the Hannover Congress Centrum (HCC).
But according to the Hannoversche Allegemeine (Haz) local newspaper, residents in the Zoo area of Hannover, have been warned against waving from their home windows as the two heads of state enter and leave the venue because it could put them at risk of a police check, according to The Local.
The US has teamed up with Hannover Messe, open to the public from 25 to 29 April, as a partner country for 2016.
