German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has met his "twin" during his visit to the US.

The head of the German government on Thursday met—in the corridor of the negotiations’ venue in Washington—Democratic Senator Chris Coons, who looks a lot like the German chancellor.

The two politicians played the meeting with humor and even took a selfie together.

Scholz posted the photo on X. "Great to see my Doppelgänger again - Chris Coons!" he captioned the photo.

And Senator Coons posted the selfie on his profile—and with the caption "Who is who?" in German.

But this is not the first encounter between Olaf Scholz and Chris Coons, NTV noted. Previously, they had met in 2021 and 2023, too.
