Merkel Takes the EU Reins Amid Crisis
For a leader known for her Teflon resilience, Angela Merkel’s final act as German chancellor may be her biggest performance yet. Germany is taking over the European Union’s rotating six-month presidency hoping to put the pieces back together after the corona crisis. Merkel is backing an early deal on the unprecedented €750 billion recovery fund and steer the bloc through the U.S. elections, the last stretch of Brexit trade talks and China’s rising. In this episode of The Brussels Edition, Bloomberg’s Maria Tadeo and Matt Miller speak to Jana Puglierin, senior policy fellow at the European Council for Foreign Relations, who discusses Merkel’s long-term plan and where Germany goes next.
