In the first episode of DW Berlin Briefing, we dive deep into the shifting landscape of transatlantic relations, exploring how Germany and Europe must adapt to the evolving political realities in the US. Join host Nina Haase as she sits down with experts Ines Pohl (DW’s Washington Bureau Chief) and James D. Bindenagel (Visiting Distinguished Fellow, German Marshall Fund of the US and Former US Ambassador to Germany) for an insightful conversation on the implications of Donald Trump’s leadership, European security, support for Ukraine and the changing dynamics of US-European relations, and how Germany’s government crisis is impacting all of this.
Key discussions include:
• The shift from shared values to transactional politics between the U.S. and Europe.
• How Germany, under Merkel’s legacy, navigated a values-driven relationship with the US, and why that might no longer be sustainable with leaders like Trump.
• Ines’ firsthand insights from traveling across the US and speaking to voters on whether Trump’s promises of uniting the country are feasible.
• The challenges of European unity in responding to the unpredictable nature of Trump’s foreign policy.
• The stark reality of Europe having to take responsibility for its own security in a post-Cold War world, especially after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
• the implications of the collapse of Germany’s governing coalition for support for Ukraine
