Donald Trump is rapidly reshaping the relationship with America’s allies. Will Trump’s policies push EU states to finally speak with one voice? Why should anyone who cares about democracy be paying close attention to the relationship between Germany and France? And what does the Statue of Liberty have to do with it all? In this episode of Berlin Briefing, DW’s Nina Haase discusses the future of Franco-German relations with her guests Max Hofmann, head of News and Current Affairs at DW, and Jacob Ross, a research fellow at DGAP.
