Three decades ago in 1989, people in East Germany took to the streets to protest communist rule. The “Peaceful Revolution” led to the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, paving the way for German reunification the following year. But the euphoria soon wore off for many in the former East, and it's having political consequences today: eastern Germany has become the bastion of the far-right Alternative for Germany party. Karen Donfried and Jeff Gedmin join Susan and Greg to discuss the legacy of 1989 and serious challenges facing the country's political establishment today. Then ICWA fellow Emily Schultheis reports from Germany, where she speaks to young eastern Germans born in 1989 about their identity.

The Trump administration’s hard-nosed approach to the European Union has left leaders across the Atlantic questioning where the relationship with the U.S. is headed. According to GMF’s president Dr. Karen Donfried, a tour of Europe shows how the outlook on America changes based on where you sit. While the talk in Paris is all about “strategic autonomy,” Warsaw is buzzing about “strategic embrace.”   This week on Out of Order, Dr. Donfried sits down with GMF’s Peter Sparding to discuss the three strategic Europes—and what the differences in attitudes reveals about European cohesion and also the future of the transatlantic relationship. The conversation is based on an article by Dr. Donfried that appeared in Defense One earlier this year.   Article: https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2019/04/3-ways-europe-looking-fraying-nato/155982/?oref=d-river

"Germany is the...largest economy and most populous country in the European Union...but nonetheless, Angela Merkel, Germany's Chancellor, would be the first to admit that Germany still needs the United States in 2018. This is why we are in such a fraught period in the U.S.–German and U.S.–European relationship ... [President Trump] is trying to renegotiate this relationship with Europe in a way that is deeply concerning to Germany and our other European allies." Karen Donfried sat down with Sabrina and Will to discuss serving as President Obama's senior advisor on Europe during the Snowden leaks, researching the conclusion of the Cold War in Germany, and the importance of strengthening transatlantic partnerships.

Donald Trump kündigte den Einsatz des Militärs an, falls Mexiko die Migration nicht stoppe: „Ich muss Mexiko in schärfster Form auffordern, diesen Ansturm zu beenden“, twitterte der US-Präsident. „Wenn sie dazu nicht in der Lage sind, werde ich das US-Militär herbeirufen, um unsere Südgrenze zu schließen.“ Mit einer so noch nie dagewesenen Flut von TV-Spots, die den angeblichen Massenansturm auf Amerika thematisieren, wird das Geschehen an der Südgrenze der USA inszeniert und dramatisiert. Doch ist die Lage wirklich so dramatisch? Ich habe Klaus Ehringfeld, den Lateinamerika-Korrespondenten für „Der Spiegel“ und „Handelsblatt“, über die Lage an der amerikanischen Südgrenze interviewt. Er schätzt sie deutlich entspannter ein als der US-Präsident. Das aber muss Trump nicht stören – Dr. Karen Donfried, die Präsidentin des German Marshall Fund in Washington und einstige Europa-Beraterin des Ex-Präsidenten Barack Obama im Weißen Haus, rechnet nicht mit einem schnellen Ende der Ära Trump: „Die liberalen Demokratien und der Freihandel bleiben unter Druck.“
