SophieCo: Merkel against Trump Because She’s the Spearhead of Obama’s Confrontation Policy – Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Assembly –Ex-VP, Willy Wimmer

Chancellor Angela Merkel has been dominating the German – and European – political landscape for over a decade. But after years of economic and refugee crises, unpopular decisions, and a growing divide between EU members, Merkel is facing opposition inside her country and across the Atlantic as well. With anti-establishment forces strong across Europe and a new leader in America, how will the German political landscape shape up this year? And with the new president in Germany standing against confrontation with Russia – should we be ready for a policy shift? We ask the former vice-president of the OSCE Assembly, and former state secretary to Germany’s defense minister – Willy Wimmer.
