US-Präsident George W. Bush hat Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel auf seiner Ranch im texanischen Crawford begrüßt. Ohne Zeitdruck wollen sich beide über viele politische Fragen austauschen. "Schon der erste Blick zeigt, dass es hier eine wunderbare Atmosphäre ist", sagte die Kanzlerin bei ihrer Ankunft.
