“I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Lawrence Eagleburger. I would like to express my condolences and deepest sympathy to his family and the American people.
During President George H. W. Bush’s tenure, Lawrence Eagleburger served first as Deputy Secretary of State and later as Secretary of State. For decades, he was a key figure who helped shape US foreign policy. In particular, he played a major role during an era so important to Germany when the Berlin Wall came down, Germany was reunited and the country experienced its first years of unity.
Germany and Europe have lost a great friend.”
