But does it matter? Is Germany squandering an opportunity to set its own international agenda? Host Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson discusses the state of German-U.S. relations in these precarious times with:\r\n\r\nJeremy Shapiro, research director at the European Council on Foreign Relations and a former advisor to the State Department during the Obama administration;\r\n\r\nJoerg Lau, Die Zeit international correspondent; \r\n\r\nLaura von Daniels, head of the “Americas” research division at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs. \r\n\r\nThis show was produced by Dina Elsayed. \r\n\r\nNote: This episode was taped before Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited Ukraine on June 16th and announced Germany wants Ukraine to be admitted into the European Union. But extra steps are needed before that can happen.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/7V-N0KfY1URa_GlvaKahK7dq_-epPrhDGYv-H0_uo-E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEzNjc2LzE2NTYy/NjI0NTQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
