heute journal - der Podcast: Trump allmächtig? Drohungen, Deals, Davos
Trump will Grönland. Nun zeigt er sich gesprächsbereit gegenüber Europa, Androhungen von Zöllen und eines US-Militärseinsatzes sind erstmal vom Tisch.
Quite the week for German foreign policy with Chancellor Merz in India and the foreign and finance ministers in Washinton DC.
Here is my analysis on 🇩🇪🇪🇺 - 🇮🇳, European options on Greenland, 🇺🇦 and more. Thanks

Germany’s foreign minister, Johann Wadephul, has announced a major reform of his ministry to become effective in summer of 2026. As the NSC is built, the MFA refocuses.
Wadephul has emphasised three foreign policy goals: protecting Germany’s security, freedom, and prosperity. 1/

German foreign policy-making will rely more heavily on strengthened intergovernmental diplomacy.
This includes partnerships with countries that “hold different opinions and whose positions may sometimes seem strange to us,” says Wadephul. 4/
This sober pragmatism is driven by security and economic resilience concerns. It will be interesting to see how Germany develops its “soft power” in a more conflictual world while Germany’s image as Europe’s economic powerhouse is showing serious cracks.
Goals 1 and 3 will be supported by strong departments for security policy and for EU policy and geoeconomics.
The department for stabilisation created 20y ago will be dissolved, as will the department for foreign cultural and educational policy. Staff numbers at the Berlin HQ will go down 2/
While the DG for International Order will stay and absorb teams working on stabilisation, prevention etc.
But funds for crisis regions and large humanitarian budgets for external cultural and educational policy will be administered directly by the regional desks. 3/
It was an honour to moderate this meeting with President Macron, Chancellor Merz, Commission VP Virkkunen and leading tech CEOs to discuss how to concretely advance European digital sovereignty. Impressive success stories, a strong sense of urgency and compelling suggestions for change.
Yes, I think it does. Click below to read our views. Thanks

Same here!
Very much looking forward to our debate on Wednesday!
Very, very sad that Joe Nye passed away.
I was lucky to exchange with him only four weeks ago. A very rich conversation on US power as always - and not without humour despite his dire analysis.
He will be dearly missed. A great scholar and a wonderful person. RIP Joe.
I am shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of my colleague Joseph Nye, who recruited me to Harvard a quarter-century ago. He was a highly accomplished scholar, an innovative Dean, and a devoted public servant. Also a very decent and humane man, who will be missed at Harvard and beyond.
Looking forward to tomorrows discussion!

Indeed!
Given the growing and strategic importance of space, Europeans should invite the best talents over to Europe now - from NASA and the US scientific community working on space

NASA begins mass firings of scientists ahead of Trump team’s deadline
Top advisers in the Office of the Chief Scientist are among the first to go amid downsizing effort.
This statement is essential for any European assumptions about US democracy, transatlantic relations, Europe, Ukraine.
After Keir Starmer‘s stint to the informal EU summit earlier this week, here are three ideas how to rebuild the UK-EU relationship at a time of geopolitical unrest.
Very timely launch of a new ECFR podcast!
Thanks for having me for a discussion of what Germany needs to prepare for with Donald Trump back in office.
Schön, das hier auf dem Weg nach Brüssel zu treffen! Ich darf den Band eröffnen mit einem Text zu den innen- und außenpolitischen Krisen, die Deutschland erschüttern - und wie wir seit 2022 schon einiges gemeistert haben.
A happy and healthy new year everyone!
Current mood below.
Getting ready for a year 2025 that will require our best innovative thinking and action to make Europe stronger and democracy resilient.
Meine Leseempfehlung fürs Wochenende: @lucasguttenberg und @nilsredeker sortieren eine Frage, die für die nächste Bundesregierung höchste Relevanz haben wird:
Wie lässt sich die deutsche Schuldenbremse im Einklang mit EU-Recht reformieren?
Mit Alexander Thiele @Verfassungsblog darf ich im DLF Kultur zwei Stunden lang mit Bürger:innen diskutieren über den Zustand unserer Demokratie und was die nächste Bundesregierung anders machen soll. Tolle Beiträge der Anrufenden!

Agree. There was a lot of misinterpretation of this over the weekend. Yet, indeed, we need to keep watching that space.

Capital hat mich gefragt, was Trumps Wirtschaftspolitik für D & EU bedeutet.
Meine Antwort: Es wird teuer. Einfuhrzölle, Subventionen & Steuersenkungen für die US-Wirtschaft, Produktionsverlagerungen in die USA...
Je mehr wir in Europa zusammenarbeiten, desto besser.

Die EU-Länder müssen nach der Trump-Wahl gemeinsame Sache machen
Mit seiner Wirtschaftspolitik kann Trump Europas Wirtschaft erheblich schaden. Die Staatschefs müssen nun Reformen umsetzen, schreibt Daniela Schwarzer
I like the term "emergency podcast". Seems to be the new normal.
