It was an election watched around the world, and an outcome most of Europe has been dreading for years: Former US president Donald Trump is headed back to the White House – with little standing in his way this time.
He’s promising his next Administration will deliver a radical agenda that puts America First. So what does a new Trump presidency hold in store for Germany? It’s facing its own fresh elections after the governing coalition collapsed on the same day as the US race was called.
This week on To the Point we’re looking at Trump’s triumph: What does it mean for Germany?
Our guests:
Josef Braml, Expert on US issues
Brandon Bohrn, Bertelsmann-Foundation
Rachel Tausendfreund, from the German think tank, DGAP
