SUMMARY:Germany's Election Shockwave & America's Retreat from Europe?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free webinar to discuss Germany's recent elections\, which saw the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party become the second-most popular political force as well as the growing American retreat from Europe. This political shift has raised concerns about Germany's future direction and its impact on NATO\, especially as the U.S. under President Trump signals a retreat from European engagements. Chancellor-elect Friedrich Merz has advocated for increased European defense capabilities\, including discussions on sharing nuclear weapons among Germany\, France\, and Britain\, to bolster deterrence. Currently\, he is the Honorary Fellow of the Thomas Mann House in LA. Ronen Steinke\, German political affairs journalist and author\, will explore what these developments mean for transatlantic relations between the United States and Germany. Moderating the talk is Consul General Dr. Michael Postl\, from the Consulate of Austria in Los Angeles.Video of the event can be found here: Germany's Election Shockwave // America's Retreat from Europe? with Ronen Steinke
